IIRC, doesn't the current networking stuff use some 3rd party dependency
that nobody has, and thus the network code is practically not used?

So, to get a network layer that is actually used, going the other way
round may actually be better - aim for dropping the external library and
do networking “manually” with sockets.

A sort-of middle ground would be to use a networking library with a
sufficiently open license (e.g. BSD, zlib, LGPL) and dump it's code into
CEL.

However, such implementations details shouldn't really be the main focus.
