So if you use them use them with care and have in mind that some of this
stuff might break in the near future.
One vendor has integrated them in his product, which is not a good idea,
using them at that state in a big project would mean a huge money loss
for those who use them and maybe not find them the same way or totally
altered at the next major release.

better than no/lesser components and a not-so-impressed client. Good
clients understand software lives.It also allows them to get feedback
already and then integrate the feedback with the final of the components
later on. A defendable path no?
but all this aside:
the components are very cool ;-)

Well one of the big things coming after the next tomahawk stable is to
push some of the sandbox components down into the main Tomahawk.
It already is a shame that the sandbox almost has become as big as
Tom itself. The first component as it seems will be or already is the
Calendar component.
The ajax stuff will probably go down into the main core once we have
moved towards Dojo 0.3.
My personal feeling is that our supportive codebase (the entire
intialization api) now is stable enough, thanks to a few really
complicated implementations that it wont break in the near future.
Once dojo is down in tom a few components will follow...
