I also want to add that I am pretty sure this issue was not there in 4.2.2 and only showed up recently in our code after upgrading to 4.3.6

In our code, this no longer deletes productSubscriptions whenever a product is deleted:

@OneToMany(cascade=

, orphanRemoval=true, mappedBy="product")
private Set<ProductSubscription> productSubscriptions;

Whereas it used to in 4.2.2 this is a major showstopper for us, and we might have to roll back to 4.2.2
