I'm adding a "Gotchas" section now.

Your pallete gotcha seems more like a JIRA to me. :-) It's not really about generics in general, but about a specific choice in 1 component (which really seems incorrect to me, i.e., PECS).

One of the gotcha's I think is the getHomePage() signature...

        public abstract Class<? extends Page<?>> getHomePage();

This breaks raw types (you can't return raw home page).

I don't see any way out of this one without making the getHomePage() signature incorrect (i.e., you can't make it a generic method, which was used to solve the problem where a method argument had the type Class<? extends Page<?>>).

Why don't we use the Wiki page to list our *specific* "gotchas" we
encounter and try to come up with a solution for them.  My guess is that
we can do so.

I would like to see what the major issues are as to why people are
rejecting model/component generics. None that I have seen so far are
that convincing- especially the complaints of verbosity.

before
we even think of (partially) reverting generics we have to discuss
what's wrong (except the verbosity of course, but that's not
something
we can really do about) with current state. I use wicket with
generics
daily and I don't see any particular show stopper so far.

+1, I agree.  I think this discussion might be counter-productive if
folks who aren't using the generified versions are voting.
