The dev website (at least https://www.archlinux.org/devel/) loads a javascript lirbrary from http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js. This is a security issue and could affect our site when their's are down.

I would suggest to download that file and use a local copy.

Pierre, I realized I hadn't commented on this yet, sorry. This was quite intentional:
http://projects.archlinux.org/archweb.git/commit/?id=680ddeb0894df7d0e6939d9fc6d542ee1c585817

1. There site will not be down unless the world has caught fire, so I'm not too worried there.
2. We formerly did use a local copy, but it really isn't of any benefit unless you've looked through all of that as well and can assure me it is legit. I more than trust them to serve up the correct file. I could be convinced to use an https:// URL for it, however, when you are browsing our site on HTTPS.
