04/12/2023, 2:20 PMare you talking about a code library? Wouldn't you just use the current version and store it in their file cabinet? that way it can't be discontinued, its stored in their account and will keep working how its working today.
if you using a hosted library I can see this being a risk, but, its one that's easily avoided. Don't use externally hosted libraries

Something like underscoreJS is pretty popular too but all of these are libraries you download and put in the file cabinet. If you're doing JQuery dark arts and stuff for people for custom views/code, you've already opened yourself up for some issues.
