Comment (by cypherpunks):

 In light of the DDoS that the Tor network is undergoing, I thought it
 would be the best time to write a patch for this since with it, (1)
 popular traffic to CDNs for JS libraries will be virtually gone, helping
 thus to ward off some exit traffic; (2) it helps with usability when a CDN
 blocks a particular Tor exit used in a circuit for a website that relies
 on said CDN for a JS library.
