Re: Overuse of "AssumedStale" Issue Tag

Posting David's comment (in blue) from Issue 1328:

#8
[Issue marked as AssumedStale]

#9 (David)
Hey, why make this stale? When you are using IFrames in applications you really need more events than GWT is offering.

... and yet, in almost 6 years:
  * only 9 people starred the issue
  * no one provided a patch
  * the issue hasn't been updated for years...
If you provide a patch, we'll gladly review it and update the issue status accordingly.

- The only bugs that reach 100+ votes are probably critical bugs.
- This particular bug was accepted, it would have taken a few hours to implement.
- In the mean time I obviously already used JSNI to work around the issue, as most people probably did. I am not allowed to contribute this by my employer.
- But it is a maintenance problem in bigger projects because we need JSNI tricks to be able to extend existing GWT widgets (the widget designs are very restrictive). So we rather just replace them completely.
- In fact people who needed more advanced widgets went for GXT or some other widget set and as a consequence it is normal that these kinds of bugs don't get a lot of exposure. I have been exposed to about 10 large GWT projects at multiple companies and none of them are using the core GWT widgets due to a lack of features.
