Along these lines-- we really need to define and document the canonical way for
determining network accessibility. My team is tasked with defining apparmor
policy for this, and SDK app developers should ideally do this one way and then
my team can write tests to make sure that it works for that use case. Everyone
coming up with their own method won't work with application confinement.
