scan this user forum, you will realize that there is no high demand for
generics in wicket from users. I am yet to see one user or thread here of
wicket users screeming out for generics addition. I think users has been
doing just fine without it at least speaking for myself.

Anything more than IModel, I wont upgrade to 1.4 as well

+1 for IModels only

as for as I am concerned, annotations are better 1.5 additions than
generics. generics is just awful
