if we break the
api it is not our responsibility to fix it, it is the job of whoever is
responsible for that wicket-stuff project.

Technically, you are right. Practically you are not.

* To start with, It's just a matter of courtesy.
* It's much less work for the one doing the API break to fix other
projects than for someone who probably doesn't right away understand
the break/ ideas/ consequences. Where it takes a couple of minutes for
the 'breaker' to fix a project, it takes an hour or more for someone
else.
* We have been moving fast with our breaks up to a point that it has
probably been pretty hard to keep up for anyone but the core members.
* In the end, I've been doing 90% of the wicket-stuff fixes (and I
often waited for a few weeks and even asked on the dev list if others
would take some time to fix it), whereas I've been repsonsible for
maybe 10% of the breaks. And that's a bit of team work than can be
improved imo.
