.. caution::

The YUI Compressor is going through a `deprecation process`_. But don't
worry! See :doc:`/cookbook/assetic/uglifyjs` for an alternative.
The YUI Compressor is `no longer maintained by Yahoo`_ but by an independent
volunteer. Moreover, Yahoo has decided to `stop all new development on YUI`_
and to move to other modern alternatives such as Node.js.

That's why you are **strongly advised** to avoid using YUI utilities unless
strictly necessary. Read :doc:`/cookbook/assetic/uglifyjs` for a modern and
up-to-date alternative.
