Nothing in OE-Core uses extrenalsrc directly but we'd still want something like that in the core so I don't think the rule is absolute. What we wouldn't want to see is multiple layers maintaining different and potentially incompatible versions of a class file. That said, I think there are a few that we probably could clean up.
