[hibernate-dev] Deprecating or removing entirely HashtableCacheProvider?

Sounds good to me too - the only quirk for it that I recall was that tools like schemaexport etc.
shouldn't require cacheproviders, but if the cacheprovider is lazily loaded (i.e. not actually instantiated
until used) or there is a way to globally disable it easily just for running schemaexport then that would
solve that.
