TBH, I think the real issue here is external compatibility. End users need
to know if their version is going to have the externals they need. Given
how often external libraries get abandoned, the need for re-compilation is
a non-trivial issue.

I think this puts me in favor of clear separation. I'm relatively agnostic
as to specific names.
