Yeah but not in 3x unfortunately. As it stands people can retrieve the List of
Fieldables via getFields() and add whatever implementation of Fieldable they
like. Consequently we need to continue to support Fieldable in IW for example.
Once this code has been committed I will create a new patch for trunk which
moves all of Solr and Lucene over to the Field. I could do this in many places
already of course, but that core classes like IW would have to remain as they
are.

So, what is the reason for doing this in 3.x at all, can't we simply drop stuff
in 4.0 and let 3.x alone?

> In order to move field type like functionality into its own class, we really
> need to try to tackle the hierarchy of Fieldable, AbstractField and Field.
> Currently AbstractField depends on Field, and does not provide much more
> functionality that storing fields, most of which are being moved over to
> FieldType. Therefore it seems ideal to try to deprecate AbstractField (and
> possible Fieldable), moving much of the functionality into Field and
> FieldType.
