System.Collections.Queue vs. System.Collections.Generics.Queue

[Helium]

Is there any need for "System.Collections.Queue" any more? OK, .Net
made the mistake to start without generics, but that is fixed now.

Languages without support for generics could use
"System.Collections.Generics.Queue<Object>" instead of
"System.Collections.Queue". So everytime those languages use a
generic, they just use them with <object>.

I don't think having two different sets of collections is a good idea.

Is there any need for "System.Collections.Queue" any more?

Yes, for backward compatibility.
