yes. also, i think it's much less shift than you are thinking, stefan. we've only really been talking about discontinuing the constructor change. most if not all of the other useful features in 2.0 would be moved into the 1.x branch, not discarded. and i think generics would probably be lightened, not dropped. i imagine we will present this more formally once the constructor change discussion has completed, but i suspect the basic idea will be that not all Components should be generified. instead, only subclasses that can really benefit like ListView, ListItem or DropDownList. it's almost definite that models would remain generified in whatever comes after 1.3. nobody is against generics on the team. we love them. but we don't want to overuse them for little or no benefit. that currently seems to be the case in practical uses of 2.0, so that's why we're talking about stepping back and looking at it.
