I don't see the technical nor ideological merit of your position. Both
are open source and even if it was not, I see no reason to depend on non
open bits for test integration purposes. I wish we had the ability to do
that for WAS, Weblogic etc at the time when they changed their
transaction manager internals every full moon.
