I can't speak for Igor - though we have talked about that too - but for my opion see e.g. http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=39579#204913
Basically, I think continuations are a smart idea, and they might be useful for wizard/ flow type applications. That said, I also think they are very procedural, whereas Wicket tries to be the object oriented framework of the bunch. Thus in that respect I think it wouldn't be a match for Wicket. Rife does seem to do some smart optimizations, (though imo, your 'code beauty' suffers from that), but mind you that Wicket allows for very fancy state optimizations as well. So, I'm not pro continuations in Wicket at this point, except for the ajax optimization with Jetty, which will probably be implemented transparently. However, if other people do think it is a useful addition, I think most or all of the core comitters would welcome such a project as a wicket-stuff project. Geert has done the extra effort of ensuring his continutation API can be used without RIFE, so that's certainly an option (I think, because I never seriously thought about how this would/ should be integrated in Wicket).
