[hibernate-dev] ORM 6 + staged Jakarta Persistence 3.1 SPEC API jar...

Hi, In the next few weeks, we can expect that a final release of Jakarta Persistence 3.1 SPEC API *may* become available (time permitting :-).  In the mean time there is a staged jakarta.persistence-api-3.1.0-RC2.jar [1].  Technically, artifacts like jakarta.persistence-api-3.1.0-RC2.jar could be updated (e.g. like a snapshot) but generally that typically doesn't happen. Should we start to build Hibernate ORM 6 with jakarta.persistence-api-3.1.0-RC2.jar [1] to start making changes for Persistence 3.1?  Or should we wait for the official Persistence 3.1 release? I would love to hear any feedback on new TCK tests added to the Persistence 3.1 TCK [2] before Persistence 3.1 final is released so that we might have time to make any needed corrections in the TCK (instead of needing to file TCK challenges).  The TCK test additions are [3][4][5].  Also worth noting [6] due to a ClassTransformer change.
