Comment (by GaryJ):

 I agree with Drew - having a new widget for each post type is overkill. My
 current client site has 11 CPTs and the majority of them wouldn't be
 suitable for a Recent widget. If this approach is followed, rather than
 updating the existing widget, then it should at least be only triggered
 from a widget flag of some sort, to make it opt-in.
