I think picking select2 was a very big historical mistake I would like us to rectify. Instead we should have an ember component for dropdowns that we can easily hack on. It would contain **much** less code, handle localizations in the same way the rest of our code does and be something we can extend. The CSS around select2 is a nightmare and we often find ourselves !importanting our way out.

Overall picking select2 was a very big mistake. If I had a time machine I would time machine it out.
