As is generally the case, that GitHub search returns the same code
duplicated thousands of times. From this search, it's impossible to tell
which are forks of libraries implementing a polyfill or shim, which are
projects that actually get released, which are projects that will never be
released, and which will update their dependencies in a timely fashion
(resulting in use of the proper method). It seems like a fair amount of
these are actually just a few polyfills or different versions of jQuery.
These results are also inflated by matches in source maps.
