This is an interesting one 
(http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GSIP+70+-+Reduce+CatalogFacade+API) 
introduced in January but has collected no votes? It focuses on using generics 
to reduce the number of methods. 

I have found that introducing generics tends to make things more difficult, and 
I still often put in the specific concrete method in the subclass (in order to 
write a more helpful javadoc). However they do provide more safety (and prevent 
me screwing up the method in the subclass).

There is a small impact on backwards compatibility, that is not noted in the 
proposal: Any future changes applied to master would no longer smoothly apply 
to the stable branch.

Still +1 as any reduction in methods / improvements to consistency are a good 
thing.

Actions: Updated proposal with current PSC list, since this has no JIRA, not 
patch and is an API change I assume we can revisit it in 6 months time.
