There's a catch-22 here. Enterprises that require encryption at rest likely 
won't tolerate
enabling a package manager that lets you download executable code from the 
internet during runtime,
especially when that package manager is both home-grown, and largely unused and 
neglected.

So we need to evolve the package manager such that it supports a purely offline 
mode
where all fetching and verifying of packages happen in a CLI tool at 
deploy-time, and
you can start Solr in an air-gapped environment without any external internet 
access or code download.

Sandbox sounds like a good start. Perhaps with an alpha-release for easy 
testing by users?
