Re: [hibernate-dev] Marking API members as incubating

Indeed in my previous comment about bundling it in a common jar I was assuming the retention would have been at source level. Hardy suggested we could keep it even at runtime.. indeed that could open the path for several kinds of diagnostics and reporting. I guess there is no downside? I don't expect these to take more than a couple of bytes in the class definitions. +1 to just include it in the source tree, but in that case I'm not sure I'm understanding the additional value over the current @Experimental?
