this question is posed here because we want feedback from non-committers who are interested in how wicket grows.

+1 for change now !

We just take one or two hours for refactoring now
but the return is huge because we no longer need to suffer time on tweak/debug/code ugly....
This saves much more time !

And the most important thing is Wicket in Action, this is the key for our team to
adopt Wicket. I cound not promote Wicket to our whole team because there is no book...
Personally, I hope when Wicket in Action out, our old-struts-team can grab Wicket quickly because it is written for latest version.

Furthermore, we have been discussing on, if we are implementing this
change, /when/ we are going to do it.

Basically the options are between 2.0 in a few months or 1.2 now. I
would be for doing it right away. It might hurt a bit for people
working on HEAD now, but compared to 1.1 there already have been a
couple of API breaks. Furthermore, you'll reap the benefits earlier,
we have less trouble supporting versions and we can write Wicket In
Action using this.
