No, because of type erasure, you can add generics and be binary compatible.

The discussion WRT [pool] was of the type 'don't do generics in 1.x because
2.0 is coming out real soon now, it's going to confuse users, no one's
going to support 1.x and 2.x', and so on.

Well, I'm sure glad I put the effort to do 1.6 with generics because there
is still no sign of Pool2 :(
