Yes it is a bad idea. A number of extensions hosted on Wikimedia have
a copy of jQuery, you can easily find a copy, e.g.

http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/extensions/Collection/collection/jquery.js
http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/extensions/UsabilityInitiative/Resources/jquery.js
http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/extensions/OpenID/skin/jquery-1.3.2.min.js
