The YUI Compressor is going through a `deprecation process`_. But don't

worry! See :doc:`/cookbook/assetic/uglifyjs` for an alternative.
13+
The YUI Compressor is `no longer maintained by Yahoo`_ but by an independent
14+
volunteer. Moreover, Yahoo has decided to `stop all new development on YUI`_
15+
and to move to other modern alternatives such as NodeJS.
16+
17+
That's why you are **strongly advised** to avoid using YUI utilities unless
18+
strictly necessary. Read :doc:`/cookbook/assetic/uglifyjs` for a modern and
19+
up-to-date alternative.
