Hi Alex, Well fire me they are sumthing in between falcon and asjs. My main reason for wanting to move them us that it would completely untangle the dependencies and make the build trivial.

I don't remember if there is some "packaging" reason like the ability to some day make a release just from flex-falcon that can create NativeJS apps. The Externs aren't a perfect fit for flex-asjs since they mostly aren't AS. And the main set of externs comes packaged with the Google Closure Compiler so that would mean the flex-asjs build would now also have to bring down and/or unpack GCC. I can go either way. -Alex
