[wp-testers] Humble request for 2.7

Second on the repository for temporarily removed widgets, maybe something like the recently removed plug-in section?

It would also be nice to be able to name a text widget without putting a title on it in the sidebar. For identification purposes.

I'll second that and add my own little request. Could you consider 
bringing back or recreating a "repository" for active widgets that have 
to be temporarily removed from a sidebar. This is especially important 
when considering text widgets. Currently, if for any reason, a user 
needs to temporarily remove a text widget or widgets from their 
sidebar(s) then the text/html within that widget ceases to exist and the 
the text widget has to be rewritten from scratch before it can be put 
back and this is a major inconvenience. For example, it's quite often 
that a text widget that has html or script written to it that links to 
some social service, Flickr image (among others) or news gadget has to 
be removed temporarily if the respective service goes down (which can 
stop their site from fully loading). Pre WP 2.5 you had a area to place 
these widgets that were temporarily removed and they would keep their 
format and now, of course, we don't.

Respectfully submitted.
