I would like the language not to be frozen, but i think that we need to think more on the useability of the language.
We need to keep java being a clean language, easy to read from the blink of an eye by any java-able person.
Java learned from the mistakes of the others (and missed some, but this is an other story). Let's follow this road, looking at how those "so necessary" features go in other languages then adapt, if they are successful in ... 4 or 5 years...
In the meantime, not only everyone will be prepared to the ideas developed (how many persons really understand closures, in all their forms? come on ) but eventually much better solutions will come out which will please everyone. Eventually those ideas will grow from discussion and/or from analyzing other languages failures and successes.
Too rapid evolution is something .net people bitch about. Great things take time.

One thing i learned from my mistakes is:
"better is the ennemy of good"
