What's the advantage of using jsdelivr over code.jquery.com as our CDN?

From this doc, it's a pretty good CDN. https://github.com/jsdelivr/jsdelivr#why-jsdelivr

code.jquery.com is stackpath.. which is one of the CDNs jsdelivr uses.... i've never had an issue as far as I know so this is a bit of a solution looking for a problem imo.

It brings up a good question though around what js we actually want to host as part of the repo, vs pulling in via cdn (especially as these resources are far less cacheable these days)

We have a number of libraries now that we pull in via CDN, and a number that are either in the repo, or a git submodule

Not sure i have a good answer fwiw; just interested :-)
