This is perhaps not *the* reason but I see at least one: having 
svn:externals leads to having system extensions not in Release Manager's 
hands anymore as the extension team could change the state of the 
extension within Core without touching Core SVN. It would be just a 
matter of committing something more on the referenced tag or even 
recreate it because SVN on Forge lets us do whatever we want ;-)

But this is a matter of fair play and I guess the extension team would 
have problems with Release Manager in such a case... :-)
