I haven't looked into detail to the Wicket core. However I do think that Jonathan had specific extension points in his mind and a specific way to build components. The use of final is imo the best way to look at that. Every time that final is *NOT* used, is an extension point. I think we should keep this alive to the best of our abilities, until such time we can't find a better way other than removing the final to extend/improve the core framework.
It is not just inconvenience, it is a new way of programming most of us are not used to: defensive programming.

Just in case people do not agree with the framework builders (that's us here).
