Nope.  The main benefit is atomic grouping of tasks.  This is less than full blown JTA (no coordination between multiple data sources).

Not sure I understand this statement - what is it that you want to do here?  And why?

Actually what about replacing our DummyTM with this one? Less code to maintain and our tests would be run with a more-close-to-spec TM.

It's another dep that we really don't need.  If people want to use BTM they can always do so without a problem.

The DummyTM is a couple of classes and very few LOC that hasn't changed in a long while.  What maintenance?  :-)
