Yes, we don't contribute to the functionality. Regardless, they are an 
integral part of rock. To me, putting them in external/ gives the wrong 
impression. It says "well, that stuff we don't contribute to is second 
zone", the message I want to send is completely opposite: "we're happy 
to not reinvent the wheel and reuse the big community-driven libraries 
when it makes sense"
