Hi,

About saving widget states, what happens with actively developed pages?
For example you somehow hid the details of reloading widget states, then the
widgets on the page is changed and the page is published for testing or
release, what happens when the page is reloaded by the user whose widget
state was saved?

This might lead to strange development and release bugs if not careful.
