When I designed this, I didn't know it was going to be implemented by accessing the Internet -- though I might have guessed by re-reading the equivalent part of the Ubuntu installer spec. <https://goo.gl/terpNZ> So, add ubiquity to the list of callsites for that API.

If I'd known it was going to access the Internet, I would have specified progress, error, and offline feedback.

So, why does it use the Internet? What are some concrete examples of places that people would expect to show up, that wouldn't show up, if we relied entirely on an offline list?
