There's a Javassist 3.22.0-GA out and we've moved on to WF 12 work. What
are we going to do about this one?
We don't expect a long dev cycle for WF 12 so if we are going to make this
change we shouldn't delay long. We don't want to try it and see right
before the release.

Javassist updates do not go smoothly for Hibernate/WF. However, at least
part of purpose of this 3.22 release was for Hibernate and Java 9:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JASSIST-261
Back then I was able to use those 3.22 snapshots successfully, so
hopefully this upgrade should go smoothly. But I agree that I would feel
more comfortable with a Final rather than a CR.
