If OpenJPA and EclipseLink went this way it makes sense to align. At least
for Hibernate 4.
I am also undecided whether to backport the issue or not. I tend rather
towards no, but without
any strong argument.
Whether and how EntityType.getName() is getting used I don't know.
Generally I would be
interested to know how the uptake is on the new metamodel functionality.

use this EntityType.getName() today. Emmanuel? Hardy?
