Erwan,

could you please explain why this patch was committed to the portletWidget 
branch? There were some objections in Jira and in general there was no general 
approval for the inclusion. Also, it was a patch for the trunk, not the branch.

This is not the way to go, the branch is not the playground of one committer 
and we cannot use it as an easy way (a lot of traffic, less reviews from 
committers) to see the code we like committed to trunk. If this is the general 
trend, I am tempted to say that the experiment of branches (mostly) used by one 
committer is failing: branches make sense only if a relevant part of the 
committer group is working on new stuff, not just one.

Kind regards,

Jacopo

PS: a message to all: since I am not going to review each and every commit done 
on this branch, I am going to vote -1 to the merging of the portletWidget 
branch with the trunk until I will get enough guarantees from the people that 
worked on it that the changes will be only related to the original purpose of 
the branch.
