"Mature", as some may call it. :-) I was just having a conversation
with the JDBM lead the other day - it's certainly not abandoned or
anything.
Well, that's good. The last release was 1.0 in Aug 2005.
Passivating sessions is a pretty important use case. With FCL, warts
and all, I know where the pain points are (and they aren't as bad, since
passivation isn't transactional).

That is always an option, I guess. Shall we stick with deprecating it
in 2.2 and removing it in 3.0 then?
OK by me. Posting on the user forum about it is probably not a bad idea
though.
