I'm using it, too! It really helps replacing some older stuff that needs to be extended without breaking everything else. But how do you deal with @InjectComponent in base classes? Maybe a boolean "allowMissing() default false" could be added to @InjectComponent, or @DisableStrictChecks could also target fields. I digress, that's another discussion. Moving just @DisableStrictChecks annotation to org.apache.tapestry5.*core*.annotations would still split the annotations because all other core annotations are in org.apache.tapestry5.annotations. But moving them would affect everyone, so it makes more sense to leave them there for now. Maybe wait until the next big update with more breaking changes, like removing some deprecations or tweaking a few things (method signatures with type bounds, functional interfaces, streams, etc.), and then move the rest to have all annotations in a single jar.
