Why would it matter what John thinks? :-) It would be inviting trouble to
link directly to /src/latest/.
What if John fixes a bug and the bug fix breaks your entire site? Or adds a
feature that conflicts with something you're doing? Or jquery.com goes down?
You won't know about any of those problems until you get that panic call
from your boss, customer, or client about your site being kaput.
John, you are going to change those examples, aren't you? :-)
