I have no problem removing the restriction to the main archive.
(non free is always an exception to policy anyway).

However as I understand, your wording still allow to use network access if it
is available (which I find dangerous).

Maybe 
       The execution of a required target must not attempt network access.

Henrique, did Lucas answers about the archive rebuild address your objections ?
