I can't imagine a situation where i'd want an external package over one hosted on PyPI. Out of curiosity what benefits are those people seeing from them? The only thing I can think of is for projects where PyPI doesn't allow them to upload because their distributions are too large (PySide I think?). Otherwise all the other properties of external packages lead themselves to surprising behavior, higher likelihood that any particular set of requirements will not be available, and increase the surface for someone to compromise and exploit people installing via pip/easy_install via PyPI.
