Adrian,

You said
>If there are no strong objections, I will do the backport in a few days.
But you didn't even care to reply to my suggestion. Nobody did and I find this 
very disappointing. Nobody care about what get backported to releases?

Why are you so eager to backport these changes? I know there were some issues 
you fixed, but it was working like that for years and there was no hurry.
Moreover, you have already fixed few bugs you introduced with the refactoring. 
So chances are they are some others waiting...

Yesterday evening, I though about it and I must say was a bit upset. At a point that I thought about vetoing this backport. Finally I will not because I'm sure you will do diligence to fix the bug once reported.

But I feel very alone today

Hi Adrian,

Sorry but I'm against this, or rather I have another suggestion to do. I will 
make it brief.

We decided to create a R14.12 freezed branch. Since then you worked on the screen widget refactor, I committed the SEO webapp in ecommerce: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Search+Engine+Optimisation%2C+SEO+in+ecommerce and I'd like to also backport it to the R14 branch. I guess others would want to backport their own work, etc.

My suggestion is to rename R14.12 to R15.02 and to tag it again and freeze it before the end of Feburary. Nothing forces us to have a release by year, R15.02 is fine!

My volunteer time will be extremely limited starting next week, so I have put 
the remaining widget refactoring work on the shelf.

I accomplished most of what I set out to do, but I wasn't able to do any work 
on widget XML validation.

My hope is that this effort provides a springboard for others to innovate in 
this area of the project.

I would like to backport the screen widget refactor to the R14 branch. The refactor fixed innumerable bugs and flaws in the previous code. If there are no strong objections, I will do the backport in a few days.

Thank you everyone for your patience while I worked on the problems caused by 
the refactor.
