Devs, I'd like to state that I'm really unhappy with the way some of
the recent back ports were done. In particular:

* JavaDocs weren't updated (or were bad to start with)
* http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/migrate-13.html wasn't updated for
everything (models for instance)
* removal of methods from the API without providing a final method to
help upgrading. If a class has overridable method fooXX(Blah b) and
that is removed (e.g. because it is renamed to barXX or got another
signature), we should make fooXX(Blah) final for at least the first
release, with a TODO to remove it later.
* depecrated tags without stating what the alternative is

I've cleaned up a lot of this already, but I slowly growing very tired
of cleanup up other's mess. So please, anyone doing back ports or
other API changes, don't be lazy.

Eelco
