Load jquery from CDN with fallback on optimized requireJS

Question

I want to load jquery from a CDN with a local fallback.

That's pretty straightforward if you look it up in stackoverflow, i found this informative question about the task.

But when I am optimizing the code for production, jQuery gets bundled inside the optimized code, which kind of defeats the purpose of loading jQuery via a public CDN.

What are the solutions for this problem?

One way might be to exclude it from your build. Use the config option exclude
