That makes sense. RequiresResize was created for precisely this kind of scenario, where a widget simply can't work properly without knowing when it has been resized. It doesn't actually cause the widget to be any *more* broken if you fail to call onResize(), but it serves as a hint to the developer that this is required, and will cause panels that implement ProvidesResize to automatically call onResize() for their children that require it.
