[jboss-dev] Sep/14th cutoff date for component updates in AS5 Beta3

[Tim Fox]

Since JG 2.5 has better concurrency than 2.4 we need to test with it to 
ensure it doesn't highlight areas of JBM code that didn't need to be 
thread-safe before, but now do.

I believe Clebert gave the JBM test suite a spin with JG 2.5 while I was 
on hols, and several tests failed that do not fail with 2.4.

Apart from that, I don't see any other issues.
