Dear Martijn, dear wicket users, I think that Wicket is still such a young project that a major API-Change, like the one you suggest for constructors, is still possible. I don't believe that such really big projects are already realized with wicket that an API-Change would drop them. And if this leads to a better JavaScript/Ajax integration I think it's necessary.
And to your second question for votes: We do not need Java 1.4 support any longer. To summarize my opinion: I think now is the right time for essential changes. There is enough experience with wicket, it's advantages and it's limitations. If we go further with this limitations, a lot of workarounds and strange constructs will appear. And if, after some time, the wicket API needs to be modified in the future it will be much more a problem than now. I want to thank you all for the time you spend on wicket and on answering questins in this mailing list. Stefan Lindner
