Actually in theory it makes pretty much sense when you use one source 
for many sites/installations. The drawback is though that updating the 
ext happens at one time for all installations, which *could* require a 
DB-scheme update or introduce breaking changes. That's why I don't use 
it and haven't really seen anyone use it yet.

I have one typo3_src per minor version, 4-2, 4-3, ... A 
Site/installation uses either one of these versions. When updating to a 
new tag all sites instantly get updated, which is never a problem as it 
is patch level release only with no breaking changes and no db update 
required.

Greets,
Peter
