But maybe Cyclone could go into the build system as well?
Well, as I see it there are two reasons why it is not there yet. One is purely technical. We decided that only single externals go into that section. The section is huge, and having single externals is important to keep it maintainable and to to keep the memory footprint low. I am not sure if cyclone can be compiled as single externals collection.
The other reason it time. Putting externals there and maintaining it costs time. A precious good ... there are so many things and ideas I actually had for the external collection which I just can't realize because of lack of time, or because I want to spend some part of my time without a computer :(
