Comment (by nacin):

 Some particular things we've noticed so far:
  * Need to merge the widget icons into Dashicons (melchoyce, michael
 arestad)
  * filter_*(), exceptions, and other things we don't use in core should be
 replaced
  * Twenty Thirteen and Fourteen need the JS added that the plugin bundles.

 Where things should be merged:
  * widget-customizer.js should be merged into customize-controls.css.
  * widget-customizer.php should become class-wp-customize-widgets.php.
  * The two controls should be added into class-wp-customize-control.php.
  * widget-customizer.js is a ton of code, so let's maybe keep it separate
 from customize-control.js for now.
  * Does widget-customizer-preview.js share a lot of code with widget-
 customizer.js?
  * widget-customizer-preview.css should just be some CSS injected into
 wp_head. (It also needs better styling.)
  * What's liveFilter for? Is it needed? Can we do our own thing? The
 Themes page already has live searching.
  * I'm curious whether the options transaction component is necessary. We
 built the customizer originally by simply storing values and passing them
 through option_* filters on the fly. I've looked at this a few times now,
 and I'm not sure what I'm missing?
