thats nice of you eelco, but like i said i dont think this is our job. if a
project is broken for some period of time we should move it off trunk. let
the next person who wants to use it fix it. we dont need to fix the world.

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.
