I might, but I would make it damn certain that scalability tests are
performed continuously. Not as an afterthought. I would also get *very*
intimate with Wicket's sourcecode to make sure that I understand it
fully and completely. Perhaps even import the sourcecode into my own CVS
and augment it with whatever I need (/I/ would give those changes back
to the general public, but amazon might think otherwise).

But if you use Wicket, that *long* development cycle will become very
short of course :-).

That might come in handy. But I think amazon.com also wouldn't use
vanilla Struts or any other framework for that matter.
