Comment:

 The decision to update the text widget rather than create a new rich text
 widget was a very poorly thought through one. In one step you have
 destroyed the custom code in countless widgets using the existing text
 widget, and rendered invalid every tutorial on adding custom code into a
 widget.

 This need to be reverted in 4.8.1 and re-introduced as a Rich Text widget.
