i am describing a real-world problem and the only answer you have to it
is: "if you don't like it, don't use it"?

people who can add links to external repositories can as well add broken
code directly, so this is no argument.

the only real drawback about svn:externals is (and we've had this
already), that people are using self-signed certificates which stops the
build-process (because you cannot tell svn to blindly accept an invalid
certificate)

oh, btw, if you don't like svn:externals, just don't check them out:
luckily there is the "--ignore-externals" flag.
