Hi Kohsuke,
what Pete suggests sounds like an interesting idea to me. I am not sure
how many cycles could you guys spend on this, but in the first phase you
could create the generic library and modify existing classes to serve as
wrappers. Later you could refactor the RI to use the generic library
directly.
