I agree with Ernesto, I think the reasoning behind non-parameterized panels is that panels needing a model is rare compared to panels that do not need a model. If you need a panel with a strongly typed model then look into FormComponentPanel, since it's a FormComponent it gets the typed model and also acts as a Panel. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but as long as you don't worry about overriding convertInput() etc then I think you won't notice much of a difference between the two.

I know I could always use Panel<Void>, or Panel<Object>, but as a user I would not like to be forced to do that all the time... and for the cases where you really need it you can do what Stefan suggests.
