Yes. I think trying to fix this "problem" is really trying to fix Java, which is pretty far outside our scope. Sun Microsystems should be trying to fix such use cases not us. If people are leaving the Java platform because of verbosity my guess is such people left when they saw their first anonymous class, but that's just my opinion.
In the case at hand, if we're doing generics where it's an unreasonable use case, that's one thing. We can fix that. But I think a class like component is almost certainly a reasonable use case and if we can't come to an agreement to make that generic, there's something more deeply wrong with Java generics which we can't fix and so the only reasonable course of action at that point is to scrap generics entirely for now and wait for Sun Microsystems to fix it (which is the reason I asked if we could not create a version with the generics removed). Personally, I don't see this use of Void as something even remotely close to a reason to scrap it. I would happily use that construct every day. But that's just me.
