This is an open source project,

We don't do mandates,
except to keep patented code away     :-)

What really matters is whether the images are in our local
working tree when they are needed to run the tests, and
whether they are the right version (of the images) for the
current version of the source code.

Both the Git submodule and MIDAS options allow running
testing without a network connection, of course, as long as

a)  We download the data in an initial step, and
b)  We get the right version of the data.

In practice, in both cases, the work cycle becomes:

0) Download the data initially
1) Run the tests in many instances
2) From time to time download
     new versions of images  that have changed.
