I have concerns about this policy. We are a collaborative movement and will succeed more by working collaboratively with other like minded organizations than by building a walled garden where only software run from WMF staff controlled production servers can reach our readers.

On WikiVoyage for example we have relief maps as an optional overlay that is viewable following a notice that external data sources will be accessed. https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/K2_base_camp_trek It sounds like this policy would end this. Which in my opinion would be a loss.
