We (library-ists) will try and make concrete actions when we see the call, instead of ignoring it today.

+1 It'd help to have an announcement on wildfly-dev with some dates until when updates can be easily delivered for a given release.

I like the provisioning project idea. As you say, it's not a full substitute as you want the primary distro to be as fresh as possible.

On that one, we already provide module ZIPs or even patch files which make it very easy to upgrade WF to the latest and greatest, e.g. for Hibernate Validator. But of course it'd be even better if that's not required for the user.

Thanks for the input.

One thing to note. While Scott looks at the Hibernate ORM / Wildfly combo, we also have Hibernate Validator and Hibernate Search.

+1 for the suggestion call on Wildfly-Dev - as long as the release is not too many months in the future otherwise we enter a very blurry picture of what can be accomplished. We (library-ists) will try and make concrete actions when we see the call, instead of ignoring it today.

In the hibernate case Scott M usually coordinates major updates with Steve, since he usually has to update the integration code. We want to make two major improvements though:

The main problem is that we don’t really have a clear signal saying component upgrade window opened until date yyyy-mm-dd, or if it exists we are not watching it.
