If I had to guess, I'd say that the network dependency issue ARM is talking about is the fact that we install an image over the wire, and that they probably want to do bare metal testing on systems that may not even have network support at all.
I suspect it could be a bit of this and a bit of what Zach is saying. Benchmark guys work very hard to make sure the system has as little unpredictable disruptions as possible. Having an active network service doesn't help their cause.
