Comment:

 Talked a bit with nacin.

 There is a POC from shaunandrews: http://www.shaunandrews.com/themes/new-
 customizer/

 We want to give this a chance and need a patch which does the following:

 * It should be only available for widgets.
 * Only option should be to manage widgets or return (not like
 [https://github.com/x-team/wp-widget-
 customizer/issues/77#issuecomment-33542830 this mockup], where you see the
 save/cancel button)
 * It should show *all* sidebars.
 * Sidebars, which aren't used on the current preview page should be semi-
 transparent, this will make #27405 invalid, which is okay.

 Sure it's a bit late in cycle, but it's worth at least seeing if it's
 small and also a clear/obvious improvement. Since we want this anyway, at
 worst the patch will find it's way into 4.0 if we agree it's an
 improvement.
