CDN bundles are avaliable

Few days ago I discovered that ASP.NET team at least add possibility to fallback CDN usage in script bundles. It can be done like following:

public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles)
{
    bundles.UseCdn = true;
    BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true; //for debbuging

   var jquery = new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jquery",
        "//ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-2.0.0.min.js").Include(
        "~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js");
   jquery.CdnFallbackExpression = "window.jQuery";
   bundles.Add(jquery);
}

Which generates more or less bellow JavaScript:

 <script type="text/javascript">
        if (typeof jQuery == 'undefined') {
           document.write('<scr'+'ipt type="text/javascript"'+
                               'src="/bundles/jquery"></sc'+'ript>');
        }
 </script>

Everything is really cool, BUT bundles usually has more than ONE file in it. Of course when can create a bundle for each script, but in my opinion it is quite irritating. Especially that wen need fallback for every script :)

I was looking for CDN with popular bundles, but I cannot find anything like this. Thanks to Patrick Nommensen (@pnommensen) I found that in jsDelivr I can specify URL query like:

//cdn.jsdelivr.net/g/jquery@2.0.1,angularjs(angular.min.js+angular-resource.min.js+angular-animate.min.js+angular-cookies.min.js+angular-route.min.js+angular-sanitize.min.js)

So download multiple files from CDN, using one request, with every version specfied. Moreover I can prepare exactly same bundle localy and use only one fallback. Which is really cool :)
