network-enabled so this should work in the medium term if at all
possible.

If there is a technical reason, I can not disagree.


Thanks for letting my know!

PS: Please note that I don't speak haskell, but given the extensive
tests joeyh put into place, and that he still follows the same
workflow as before, I am confident enough to do normal grunt work.
