But we might get problems if we decide to work on further, unrelated issues in parallel. For instance we wouldn't recognize that such a change causes one of the tests disabled for HV-571 to fail.

Fair enough. I don't think that there will be many other things coming up while we fix HV-571, but it is probably better to have this branch until all tests pass again. HV-571 has highest priority atm.
I pushed my HV-571 branch to https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-validator/tree/HV-571. We can share this branch for the work

In ORM we have https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/tree/metamodel for the metamodel work. So we do the same thing there.

+1 That was our plan to begin with and also one of the reason why we have a version jump from 4 to 5 now.
