Dear Wicket devs,
we are in the same situation too :-) For more than a year we are
stuck to the dead 2.0 branch and are still hopefully awaiting the
new generified major release. Old 2.0 with a few patches works quite
fine but we won't probably survive waiting another year for the
1.4/2.0 release...
So I'm totally +1 for adding only generics and other Java 1.5
features in the next major release...
Regards,
Bendis

I totally agree with your opinion: "Quit punishing us 2.0 early
adopters already".
It is still a pleasuere to use OLD wicket 2.0 and it still works
pretty stable. And I am sure it will be much more pleasure to work
with a generified wicket 1.4/2.0 > > Stefan > >

personally i think we should come up with a list of all the
features we want, throw them into a backlog, and timebox it.
See the wishlist:
