That's just the way it is. REBOL 3 has just been released in alpha
form, and it will open up much more of the system for extension and
such, but there will still be a closed kernel. At this time, there are
no plans to make REBOL entirely Open Source, and the extension model
is not solidified yet.
What exactly do you need native extensions for?

If you decide to continue with REBOL, I can set up an account for you
on the main REBOL world.
