I'm not sure. It very nearly happened about 6 months ago but then it didn't.

Well it appears that part of the modularisation work being done for going open source will allow us to develop more integrated extensions to the language. I assume this will be a virtual replacement for externals (or basically be externals with syntax stuff) and need to be cross platform. Perhaps that's why android externals never happened because the concept was superseded by these extensions...
