I didn't have much time in the recent to actually work on apps based on Wicket, neither 1.x not 2.x. Thus I have no experience wih either and no preference regarding the constructor change. I go with what the experts decide.
In 2.x there two more changes which have not yet been backported into 1.3 - Localizer - markup loading based on fragments I don't thnk there is any magic involved in backporting both, it just needs some doing and extensive testing.
