Or did you mean something else?
The problem of unversioned externals is that when you check out an old revision of a project, you still get the newest revision of the externals, and maybe it won't work together. Say we check in Cocoon as an unversioned external now. If you want to check out todays Lenya revision one year later, you would still get the Cocoon of next year, and not todays revision. It's true that because Lenya and Cocoon are in the same repository, you could say that the LCR should be equal. But you would have to get the right revision manually. For externals of a different repository (like Kupu and BXE) it is not possible to figure out the right revision. Or did I miss something?
