Over the years we have improved Builder to be an unchecked specialization of CheckedBuilder, but that does not cover further use cases, where the build() method would be more polymorphic, like accepting a mandatory argument, or similar.</p> <p>A huge downside of this interface's proliferation is that attempting to find callers of a particular .build() method are useless – IDEs will identify callers of all Builder.build() method.</p> <p>Gradually deprecate and eventually remove concepts.CheckedBuilder and concepts.Builder, as well as any non-specific interfaces hanging off of them.</p> YANGTOOLS-1322
