Very likely, we find this to be very common in JS projects, especially
with projects related to jquery. We don't really have a problem with
it unless the site is generating significant load for us.

We don't currently have a way to expose that information to users. If
it's something you'd like integrated into Analytics, I would recommend
starring this issue:

Feel free to leave the download up marked as deprecated. No need for
you to take any special steps, we will work with you and track down
the referring site in the future if it begins to become a problem.
