The question we face TODAY is, are reified generics MORE valuable than other features that Sun can add to the Java platform. Evidently not, since Sun is working on other features.

Without a platform JSR approved by the majority of the voters Sun is the only one who decides on the feature set of JDK 7. The usage of words "valuable" and "evidently" is very subjective in this context, since i haven't seen any evidence of true community feedback, or any sign of a transparent decision / development process in JDK 7.

Thanks Kirill
