Java APIs

Why are some still continuing to press for 'Generics' ?

<rant>
They have been repeatedly rejected from the JDC with good reasons and rightly so IMHO. The constant demand are like a broken record.
</rant&gt

They add nothing to Java [except complexity]
than cannot be achieved through polymorphism, and work against reuse. They are a crutch for poor designers that cause code bloat.

The conversation always seems to focus on how, rather than Why.

I am very strongly opposed to them.

I strongly urge those that care about Java to oppose them.
