Those itchy fingers are easily explained: we'd like to get in those
'missing' features in asap so that we don't have to worry about
backporting them in the future! Furthermore, don't play such an
innocent kid, because you've been guilty of applying or at least
encouraging quite a few ajax and header contribution backports
yourself!

We have to take some responsibility here don't we? If we decide to
reverse the constructor change, that doesn't mean we just drop the
whole thing right away. As you have read in the thread so far, people
/are/ using those generics, so we /should/ provide a proper upgrade
path. And I mean very soon, not just in some distant future. So, yes,
we have to either keep 2.0 alive for bug fixes and stuff, or we have
to provide a version that is as close to 1.3 as possible, but with
generics/ java 5 support.
