why are we suddenly creating 2 request cycles?

[Johan Compagner]

in the constructor:

   protected Session(Application application, Request request, Response
response)
   {
       // Construct request cycle (which sets thread local)
       getRequestCycleFactory().newRequestCycle(this, request, response);


and ofcourse normally in the WicketFilter.doGet()

please don't tell me this change of the Session constructor (suddenly a
response object as a param)
and the construction of that request cycle is because of UNIT TESTS????
because that would be horrible that we change such a basic code just for
unit testing.
