    initial v1  
    77> * Plugins ought to gracefully degrade in a situation where an external network or API is unavailable. (This goes beyond Playground: people test plugins locally and on staging sites; and even in prod network connectivity may be limited or lost at times)
    88>
    9 Whilst  graceful handling of missing connections and demo content may work for some, there is a subset of plugins, small that may be, that the real value of a demo is in the ability for the user to their own live content. And example would be say a feed from a closed system via API.  For these plugins a network connection is essential to showcase in context of the user.  ( disclosure, one of my plugins is such and the live demo connecting to user data is very popular when users evaluate it )

    1111In these cases, hopefully the network issue gets resolved, the github thread seem it was progressing not a 'no'.
