Hi Guys,

Sorry about all the emails from folks unfamiliar with bug tracker etiquette; 
IMO it's a design flaw in the google code issue tracker, and it's being 
addressed separately. :)  I've added a handy flag to this issue which means you 
can't comment on it anymore. Sorry, but I think most of you appreciate it. 

As for this issue in particular...

I'm actually the lead developer of Modernizr (hi!)... *and* I work at Google 
*and* assist with our hosted libraries in my 20% time. So anyway you can 
imagine, I want this done even more than you guys do. :)

In order for us to consider adding a library to our API, that library must ... 
(thanks comment 49!)... basically get tens of millions of loads per day across 
millions of websites. Due to the details of how browser caches work, hosting on 
our CDN really only benefits the web for libraries that are literally all over 
the place.

So at the moment, the best chance Modernizr has of landing on the Google CDN is 
if Modernizr is being used widely across the web. 

We can't make any promises about definitely adding it, but you can be sure I'm 
very aware of the demand to do so. :) I'll update the ticket here when we have 
any additional news on this one.

If you have any more thoughts, feel free to holler at me on twitter: @paul_irish

But for now, I appreciate everyone who has starred the issue and let us know 
you want it. Thanks!
