"Oh we failed to design the perfect solution, so we are not going to change anything until we find that perfect solution."

Did they think that generics were perfect? I doubt it. Its a community that's been burned by its past pragmatism. I think its wise to be more cautious in response.

It took 8 years for generics to be released, after they couldn’t decide how to in the initial release. So yeah, they’ll just wait until people run to other language/platforms.
