Fear not, there's a solution to that, starting C# 4, IEnumerable is covariant to IList, we can just substitute IEnumerable for IList if we don't need to add elements to the collection.
Think of OOP generics papercuts prior to C# 4

Generics not letting you become a full-fledged objected-oriented programmer?
Hello implements IGreeter, but the compiler won't allow us to return an IList<Hello> to IList<IGreeter>, that's very fundamental OOP, but all our hard-earned knowledge of OOP can't do its magic due to the covariance problem between generic types
Fear not, there's a solution to that, starting C# 4, IEnumerable is covariant to IList, we can just substitute IEnumerable for IList if we don't need to add elements to the collection.
