And if I had, the generics STC bugs would be the last thing I'd like to get my hands into. The ClassNode infrastructure was retrofitted to introduce generics back in 1.5, but since it was for dynamic world, it wasn't really designed for what we do now. So, every bugfix you make is likely to introduce another bug somewhere else. That makes the process very painful. More so when type inference enters the game. Jochen and I spent a lot of time writing, rewriting helper methods to make this easier, but it's just too hard for the little time I can afford. off topic: why is incubator always in CC of the emails you write? Looks like your email client is misconfigured somehow.
