Comment:

 There really isn't a reason to move to XHR for these widgets.

 The other widgets all require external HTTP requests to RSS feeds, which
 are in turn cached (both the feeds, and the HTML output of the widget).

 We found back in 3.2 (when the HTML output caching was added) that having
 widgets load via XHR made the dashboard appear slower to load. It feels
 more instant when things just appear suddenly.

 In the case of the cited widgets, these all require some DB queries, but
 that's about it. We're not dealing with the time delay of an HTTP request.
