My understanding is that binaries are allowed onto the mirror system but aren't
subject to the legal shield, because there's no way for the PMC to audit them.

If the binaries are bit-for-bit reproducible and have been blessed by a dev@
vote they might be allowed to enter the legal shield, but AFAIK no project has
actually asked for this yet.
