I agree with your statement about relying on external units when you 
don't have source code, but there are some situations where this is not 
always possible.  Right now, we are only using one set of libraries that 
we do not have the source for, but it is a critical one for our 
development (Paradox Engine).

As for not upgrading TP -- it is not always possible to just ignore a lot 
of the new features.  I'd like to coast, but Borland usually puts enough 
new stuff into each release that I can't.
