Continuations bring a lot of power to Seaside, however they are not
needed (anymore) to make Seaside useful. I know many Seaside
applications that don't use (or only sparingly) Continuations.

It is not that we drop Continuations, just that we would like to make
them optional. If you want to be able to define control-flow nicely,
there is no way around it.
