> No abstract singleton proxy factories
I barely see this in the code that I wrote given that I've been writing Java code for ... 8 years? (unless you're writing Spring framework itself)
Can we please drop this?

I would love to agree with that, but I don't think we can. I've been writing Java (well, more recently Scala) for 14+ years, and I still see otherwise great programmers succumb to Java class-itis.
There's nothing in Java forcing you to make deep class hierarchies or leaky abstractions.
Not sure about the GP of my original comment, but I'm not trying to be snide; I just see it everywhere, and it really frustrates me. I don't see it with Scala/C++/python/ruby programmers, so what's the common denominator? The language.
I used Play framework that especially opposes these practices in Java but I felt like language resists such riot attempts.
