So, bottom line, I say we stick with the recommendation of Brian Goetz's article and don't use wildcards in return types.
Well after all this discussion I think thats only true for cases like getViewIteraterator because of the reasons given by Adam.
There are other cases in our API where it could make sense to use wildcards together with a return. Marshall already started a thread for createFilteredIterator which I think is worth to discuss and it would be nice if we can also discuss FSIndexRepository in this context. Jörn
