Alon, I disagree with your comment (about the "you're the only one" part :)
)
As I wrote - I had a strong deja-vu about that the issue was already brought up.
Now that you reminded , I don't think you're the only person who feels this way.
I would also like to understand more what it means before jumping to conclusions and
upgrading to collections4.
At past I had some issues with another commons project (commons-configuration) that had
different versions upstream and downstream. I am sure the changes include not just
"move to generics" and should carefully be considered.

this is what missing, us maintaining a new package just to have more
beautiful code is something that can be deferred for now.

should not be a problem to use both.
