[hibernate-dev] HHH-10487 - @Incubating annotation

[Sanne Grinovero]

I would think that such a tool would work at compile time rather than
reflectively at runtime, but one can't be sure of course so it depends
on what you have in mind.

I'd also say make @Incubating with CLASS retention, it's more than
what people had before.. you can always evolve it later if someone
come with a brilliant use case which requires more.
