[seam-dev] lobbying for alternative JPA provider support in 2.0.2.SP1

[Pete Muir]

It looks like we will end up having a 2.0.3 release. I would prefer  
not to put this fix for which there is an easy workaround into this  
release especially as I don't think this fix is correct (we shouldn't  
call setManualFlushMode() from there at all).
