136 - Code that relied on some Frame members is broken
I labeled it a defect because I had to choose, but it's actually a cleanup of your code which breaks addons which relied on the un-clean version.
More specifically: in the Constructor() for the Frame widget, the old code (present in Release 907) created members for each of the elements it created (closebutton, statusbg, sizer_se and so on). My code relied on some of those members to adjust the functionality of the Frame. The new Constructor() (from Alpha 936) no longer creates those members, thus breaking my code.
To get a feeling what my code does you can download the last version of my addon that relies on those members from http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/rmi/files/39-0-22-beta/ (the code is in createUI.lua and is related to building the side-frame that opens and closes like a drawer to the right of the main frame).
Could you please leave those members in the Frame object? Thanks a lot.

You are violating our widget sandbox by accessing those members, and due to that, most likely create a mis-behaving widget when you release it back in the pool.
If you access internal functions, we will not guarantee that they will stay. We've always said, if you want to request a specific function thats missing on the widgets, simply ask for it.
