Collections has been on my long-term want-to-get-involved-with list too, but I don't see a feasible technical plan for the desired generics refactoring. In the past when I've done similar stuff I've found that you can't really do it incrementally. If someone could throw together a roadmap that explains how to do it incrementally, I'd definitely be interested. Unless that happens, I don't have the time right now :)
