Exactly. Those two extensions are using the method "svn:externals" 
(check out [1] if you want to learn).

The use of externals will probably be extended to other system 
extensions too in the future.

This allows team member of a sysext to work on it somehow dysynchronized 
with core itself and once the extension has new features or fixes bugs 
and is considered "stable", then the external definition is updated to 
point to the corresponding revision of the sysext (or a tag, ...).

Yes, that's the way to proceed.
