Emmanuel Bernard commented on HV-588:
-------------------------------------

Why do you need user input for that? It can speed up initialization but once computed once, the annotation is not providing any more info than BeanDescriptor. isBeanConstrained().
Am I missing anything?

> We could offer a marker annotation for entities (and maybe package level) to mark entities which should be excluded from validation (eg don't have any constraints). This can reduce metadata processing time and it can also reduce the memory consumption (even if an entity does not contain constraints it will be in the metadata cache).
