This leaves me with the question: Should I?

At first it’s a really nice thing to be able to host less “stuff” – hosting less is (almost) always a good thing. But do I really want to delegate this stuff to Google? Of course it would be great to have a central instance for JS-libraries – as Google says you gain: correctly set cache headers, up to date bug fixes.

As often there are two sides – if using such a service, it should be highly reliable and available for ever – which makes Google a good candidate. On the other side, do I really want to make the functioning of my websites dependend on a third party – do I want them to know about my visitors?

Google is everywhere – besides GoogleAnalytics this is a second way for them to know about movement in the web.

If I find the time, I’ll take a closer look at this whole complex.
