personally i think "externals" is exactly the name: it means "pd stuff that does not come with pd itself", rather than "pd-objects written in C"
How about "extensions"? Somehow the word "externals" has sunken in as meaning binary externals written in C/C++ and "abstractions" are Pd patches and we don't have a word yet for non-compiled object written in Python etc. so "extensions" could grab all of these together without a need to change the words we're used to.
By the best of intentions -- I think that's a nice 'bike shed' colour.
