> move -datetime to WicketStuff ... WDYT ?

Only if we deprecate all classes in that module: wicketstuff isn't a waste bin for things we don't like/support any more.

the DateConverter in -utils with timezone support for Wicket 8.
Sooner 7.0.0 is released, sooner we can start working on Wicket 8 that will
depend on JDK 8.
WDYT ?

Sorry, I was mistaken by another pair of namesake classes named
DateConverter.... DateTextField from extensions module uses DateConverter
from utils module, not the one from datetime. So in short, I agree to
decommission datetime and move it as it is to wicketstuff. The only minor
thing I'm concerned of is that DateConverter from utils doesn't seem to
be
able to take the time zone difference between clients and the server into
account. So it might be nice to keep such a DateConvert as part of Wicket
distribution. It would be easy to add another date converter for this
purpose (for example TimeZoneDateConverter) coping the one from datetime.
The only downside of this solution is that we must move the dependency on
Joda to utils module...

I was thinking:
a) move the module from Apache Wicket master branch to WicketStuff
master
branch
b) explain in the migration guide that the Maven dependency and the
package
names have changed from X to Y

But with all the suggestions to move and merge classes I am not so sure
that the migration process will be very smooth for the end user
