ProxyPass v10.2 for APM - Why EXTERNAL data group?

Can someone explain why the data group for ProxyPass v10.2 has to be an external one? I tried using a simple string data group, and this seems to be working fine.     What are the problems I can...

I don't think there is a technical reason it should require an external datagroup. As of 10.1, internal and external datagropus offer the same functionality in terms of name=value pairing lookups:

Internal data groups were not able to make use of the name/value pairing with the := separator until version 10.1. As of 10.1 all classes support the name/value pairing.
