There isn't anything we can't do for 2.x :-)
Seriously, we've had talks about modifying the API to use generics and
account for similarities in some of the Entry classes (farm out the Unix
permissions and owner stuff). This was first raised several years ago
and comes up every now and then but in the end dies down for lack of
time and the fact that the current API doesn't seem to be too painful.

Your call. By Commons' rules you are free to add yourself any time you
want to, you don't need anybody's permission.
