Interfaces don't evolve. This is one of the significant disadvantages
they present over using abstract classes. Any addition to the Source
interface breaks every single class that implements it since they won't
have those methods.

I don't think I am disagreeing with you on the benefit it brings to the
table today. I am just disagreeing on the benefit it MAY bring in the
future. [That is where I don't quite connect with your statement on it
being similar to java.lang.Object]

Of course the thought that Source may evolve - maybe wishful thinking on
my part:-(
