[hibernate-dev] Is SQM going to remain a separate component?

Steve, all, During the No-ORM meeting this week, Andrea gave us a great overview on the current status of the SQM work (thanks again, Andrea!). This looks awesome and we look forward to make use of it in Hibernate OGM. One thing I'm wondering is how closely tied to Hibernate ORM 6 this will be. Is the plan to move all the SQM bits into the hibernate-orm repo eventually? Or will SQM remain a separate component, and only the implementation of the type system will live in ORM? The reason for asking is that I'm trying to gauge how feasible it'd be to use SQM in a Hibernate OGM based on ORM 5.x. That'd be much simpler (or even only actually doable without essentially copying code), if SQM would remain separate, and we'd "only" have to copy/backport the type system implementation. Any thoughts? Thanks, --Gunnar
