MDL2 and FileType Icon CDNs prior to @fluentui/react 8.109.0 are unavailable

[micahgodbolt]

Due to the January 15th shutdown of Edgio, CDNs that were used to host MDL2 and FileType icons prior to 2023 are going to be permanently unavailable after January 15th. We are actively working to see if we can mitigate this issue through Azure Front Door (AFD), but due to the tight deadline we recommend that any product using these old packages use the following mitigation steps.

Update your dependencies to:

"@fluentui/font-icons-mdl2": "^8.5.11";
// or
"@fluentui/react-file-type-icons": "^ 8.8.11";

// and
"@fluentui/react": "^8.109.0";

Or manually set your CDN urls by updating your icon initialize functions

initializeIcons("https://res.cdn.office.net/files/fabric-cdn-prod_20241209.001/assets/icons/"); 
// or
initializeFileTypeIcons("https://res.cdn.office.net/files/fabric-cdn-prod_20241209.001/assets/item-types/");

Note that this CDN was taking offline for a period this week and recently restored. After January 15th, it will be gone permanently. Follow this issue for updates.

@micahgodbolt , we are seeing the old CDN URL references in below packages:

@uifabric/icons & @uifabric/react-hooks

Could you confirm if these packages are handled by your team? If yes, then is there any plan to update the versions?
