[hibernate-dev] [ORM] Make EntityEntry and interface and have a Factory... or not

[Emmanuel Bernard]

Back during the EntityEntry improvements, we explored the idea of an EntityEntryFactory and an EntityEntry interface so that one could provide alternative implementations optimized to the specific use case.
We did not apply it in the 4.x branch possibly due to backward compatibility concerns.

I did work on a version for master back in the days https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/pull/768 <https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/pull/768> which got closed without being applied.
So the question is, do we want that feature for ORM 5.0 or do we not want that feature?
