[hibernate-dev] Removing deprecated methods from Session and SessionFactory

[Steve Ebersole]

In regards to the first 2 sets, yes I agree.

In regards to your second point, see the discussion on
https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-9761 first.  One idea was to
keep those methods as an "untyped API".  Another option would be to add
another byId (etc) method for untyped operations, something like:

User user = (User) session.byIdUntyped( UserImpl.class )...load( id );

versus

User user = session.byId( User.class )...load( id );
