I think this route is okay. when JPA 2.1 SPEC will be released?

Ideally I want JPA 2.1 support to be released as 5.0 hand-in-hand with the metamodel work.  The only reason we would not go that route is if the metamodel work drags on and threatens us releasing JPA 2.1 support in a timely manner.  I do not see that happening, just stating a known condition.  Besides the JPA 2.1 support is actually up-to-date with the latest available specs (and actually a little bit ahead of the latest available spec draft after this week).  So again, all-in-all I still do not foresee the need for a 4.2 at this time.

agree, don't foresee any needs to do a 4.2 release
