I'm concerned that 'network access' might be ambiguous; I can imagine questions, down the line, around 'what about networked drives? What about X?'. I think a single-switch shortcut which acts as a master switch to set existing remote data access options to off is a fine idea, but I wonder about overstating what it's doing.

I will make a change to this summary, I don't want to mislead or overstate what we're doing; 'Network Access' is ambiguous and can mean a lot.
…s in nc-config, and I can see where people might want to use this define to write code that works with modern and older versions of netCDF.
…ood, did it refer to networked drives? Other things that are network adjacent?
