They can, all they have to do is to take away the ability to connect to
the outside network and that's what is increasingly being done (for
other reasons, mind you).

That is another common thing, if only to shift the responsibility if the
other measures don't actually prevent that.

Ideally, don't require the use of a non-core package.  The beef with
things like CTAN, CRAN or CPAN is that they require extra maintenance
beyond the pure installation of some software and some specific
knowledge of the software in question and that's just not going to
happen in some places.

The request was to keep a fallback to core.  I have no comment at this
time if it would be possible or not.  Since ultimately it's the session
support of Emacs that is clunky (and that affects most other languages
as well), maybe an effort to improve that would be more generally
helpful than working around it in different ways in each language.
