This is correct. Although I would like to further improve it to allow at least
adding a flag that would have it reach out to the internet, if not doing that
by default and having the installers/makefile use a flag that disable touching
the internet (the *real* thing we wanted was for the installers and such to not
reach out to the internet. I think it’s fine if manual invocations of that
command reach out to the internet).
