You will find CDN in the core, but it is generally along side a self-hosted jQuery just in case CDN is down. You can Google Plain jQuery vs jQuery CDN for a more detailed explanation of the differences. There are some advantages, but with e-commerce in mind, the security problems make it a no-no for me.

The only real option any mod developer has in this type of situation is to put a mention in the readme.

But, as many a developer will point out, the shrink wrap is hardly ever broken on a mod's instructions until there's a problem, they complained on the forum, and the developer pointed them to the appropriate spot in the readme/docs.
