Why isn't Google's Closure library hosted on their CDN?

Google hosts a number of JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and dojo on their CDN. For some reason, their own Google Closure library does not seem to be included. Is there a hosted version of the Closure library?

You can link to their repository:

<script src='https://cdn.rawgit.com/google/closure-library/master/closure/goog/base.js'></script>

good enough for demos or local development. As other answer suggested, production should use compiled code, it is well worth it.

It's not included because Closure is intended to be used with the compiler; a hosted version would need to include the entire library and defeat the purpose of building minified libraries containing only the features you need.
