Yes, firewalls are the main driver of resources. More often than not a
charm which tries to pull stuff from the internet randomly fails because
of firewalls. We know the controller can reach the charm archive because
"juju deploy" fetched the charm. So serving resources from the same
place is much more effective.

It also lets us slim down the charm itself in many cases, because
bundled blobs just become resources, which means there is less to push
and pull for every revision :)
