My assumption would be backwards compatibility. The comment in AbstractComponent says it's there for classes that implement PageRenderListener and only need the pageBeginRender method from it. Now that that has been split out to PageBeginRenderListener and PageEndRenderListener the method is no longer needed, except for any pages that might still implement PageRenderListener. Seems like it should be marked as deprecated in 4.0 and removed in 4.1 maybe?

I know when it is used. I was just wondering what the purpose of leaving pageEndRender in AbstractComponent is. It seems like it's entirely unused and could therefore only serve to be confusing to some people.
