I think we should re-interpret this issue as "Remove references to hibernate-commons-annotations from public API", WDYT?
We can then opt to keep it as an implementation detail for the time being, and play with better solutions in the near future.
Corollary question: how can we verify the "hiding" is complete? Checkstyle in tests to violate on import statement? Might not be good enough, but is a start.
