External Entites Usage

[Hutchison, Nigel]

I was a meeting the other day and someone made the following statement.

"External references in entities are highly depreciated and hopefully seldom
used."

This seems a bit extreme to me.

Will X-LINK make External Entities redundant in the near future.?
Any views on this topic?
