The problem there was the warnings. imo the default should have been not to warn, at least until Java 6. It's quite elegant that in general if I update a dependency and that dependency has switched from raw types to generics, I generally have nothing to do. With the .NET approach I would have to marshal between old and new collection types constantly.
