I did not know that we shouldn't use external hosting, the wiki [1] also
doesn't require that, it only says:

While I see that having them available infinitely has a benefit, it's
not enforced anywhere (and actually uncommon for the reviews I've seen).
You're right, I misspoke and there is no guideline against external hosting.
