External linkages in the tests is, in the long term, not good. At some
point, the remote resource will be uncontactable. Sometimes people need to run
the test offline as well. So for the long term robustness of the tests suite, I
think the level of need for an external resource needs to be quite high. At
least make the test respond to different errors - uncontactable vs a failure
with the expected actions after the content is fetched. Even the latter is hard
- the remote contents may change.
(this is what `StreamManager` is good for).
