Comment (by toscho):

 Let’s say I want to extend `WP_Widget_Meta` to add or replace a link in
 front-end. Currently I have to copy almost the complete class to add these
 simple change. If the `ul` for the link were generated in a separate
 method in that class I could replace just this method.

 Or try to replace the Feed icon in `WP_Widget_RSS`. This should be a
 separate method `get_feed_icon()`.

 The same applies to the other classes: everything is mangled together with
 very little room for sub-classes.
