Yes. please.  svn:externals should always pin to a specific revision
(or at least to a "frozen" tag).  Updating to a new revision then is
just a propedit away (to change the revision number); ditto for
backing off to an older revision if the newer one has problems.

As to the rest, you're using externals in a vanilla way for their
intended purpose, and I have no problems with that.
