Hi,

I was reviewing some old code that used TCollection & TCollectionItem
descendants. This made me think... With the introduction of Generics,
is there really still a need for TCollection/TCollectionItem?


I have tons of code that uses them. Lazarus has tons of code that uses them.
There is no way that we're going to rewrite all that stuff.

So: yes, even if only for backwards compatibility.

Nothing stops people from not using it, and use generics instead, if they
are so inclined.
