Airgaped? Really? Everytime a build happens someone physically moves a Thu drive or some other media too from the build server?

Airgap means not networked, even internally. Not just "blocked" from internet.

Wikipedia[1] offers a slightly relaxed definition, although I agree, I (and my colleagues) abuse the term.

The artifact repository server connects to the internet via a proxy. Build servers have no access to the internet.
