 If cypherpunk 260 would have quoted more, you would have an answer from
 teor.

 {{{
 Blocking an entire CDN would be a major change to either Tor or
 Tor Browser's design. It's not likely to happen, because of the
 security vs usability tradeoff. Significantly reducing the usability of
 Tor would decrease the number of users, making Tor's anonymity set
 smaller, and reducing anonymity for everyone.
