I don't know exactly.
What I know is that it takes me 3 hours, let's say, to wrap it.
I looked a bit at transforming it into a component and it's not really
straightforward (not for me at least). Since I needed this in order to
be able to write my container and dashboard macros nicely without
xwiki-core deps and especially to test them, and since I am, let's say,
a bit in a hurry with the dashboard impl, and since this approach should
not normally hurt anyone (if somebody wants to make it a component
later, they can easily) I proposed it like this, since it matches my
capabilities of expertise and time investment, at this point.
