Thanks for clarifying that, I think ev's remark is worth its own bug but
that shouldn't block this MP.

+1 on that, the only thing I now can think about is that there may be an
impact on users wanting to download and use that image for local testing.

But if I understand how this IP-based reply work, that should still work for
that use case.

Note that it's probably a wrong idea for the user to update this image too
much if he cares about reproducibility. But that's true for whatever mirror
they use anyway so that should not block this MP IMHO.
