This is my biggest contention with the widget framework at the moment
and I am only left with the option of copy/pasting snippets due to
lack of extensibility features. In fact, if I may be bold enough to
say it, I think the widget framework wasn't well planned and I have a
feeling that due to backward compatibility issues it will be a while
before it can be cleaned up.

A design overhaul for widgets is my biggest wish for the upcoming
release. Not only will it make it easy to extend plugins, but it will
reduce the overall footprint of plugins which sometimes end up
cramming in quite a lot.

Is this already on the radar and when should we set our expectations
for an the widget architecture?
