I'd add that the nature and value of the internet itself is in having interconnectedness. Perhaps, not initially for a site's infrastructure, but only because no one saw that far ahead. None the less, the ideal was there.
If there's that much fear in connecting elsewhere then we've done something wrong. Of course, there are exceptions. There always are. But the arc of the internet is the natural ability to connect.
p.s. Using a CDN ideally saves the browser time. If I've already visited a site that used the same version of jQuery from the same CND then that's in the browser cache.
Sure. Maybe we need to refine this. I'm not sure. But let's not make connecting and sharing sound like a bad idea.
