You certainly don't want open svn:externals but pinned ones.
When you pin some external to a certain revision that's safe.
However that's a pain to maintain such pinned externals.

If you want try another tool you can try Vcs that's a wrapper over
revision control systems. For now that's mainly svn but svk works good
too and can do things with cvs too. Among many others things it now
supports pinned svn externals (vcs-svn pin --help and vcs-svn pinall
--help). This tool don't have many documentation around but here is a
good starting page http://www.lrde.epita.fr/Projects/Vcs.
