They're independant in the same sense that if you write a web site and
include links to another web site, that yours will still function if
the other becomes unavailable for whatever reason.

You can always keep a mirror of the other archive if you're afraid
that it becomes unavailable, or like was mentioned in another thread,
use 'tla cacherev' on the tagged revision.
