The fix seems to have some global consequences (unsurprisingly, as it
changes some fundamental methods in DbEntity and ObjEntity). I haven't
looked at the details, but we do have hudson failures (which I see you
are fixing now), and also the test cases do not check that the results
are correct (i.e. prefetching is actually working as expected vs.
simply not throwing an exception). I am a bit uneasy about including
such a consequential change in 3.0 at this point. Do you think there
is a more localized workaround, even if it is a hack, for the stable
branch? But maybe I am too paranoid.

It doesn't have to be, although from slow voting on RC2, I guess as a
practical matter doing yet another RC is too painful for everyone
involved :-/

Good question. I'd say it depends on what the problem is and whether
there is a problem. (Do you have time to look at that BTW?) Also we
have a bunch of EJBQL holes plugged on trunk already, but not on 3.0
(most notably CAY-1069, but also CAY-1366 now in progress). So we have
a choice of further delaying 3.0, treating those as "known
limitations", or something in between - fixing them in 3.0.1...
Based on the past history of major releases (1.0, 1.1, 1.2) I was a
bit skeptical about us being able to go from Alpha to final in just a
couple of months. The thing just has to settle down and stabilize.
Which means responding to bug reports for some time and releasing as
many RC's as needed. The rate of new Jiras coming in clearly indicates
that we need more time, unless we adopt a different definition of a
final release (N.0 is released as "final", but it is really alpha,
with fixes being done as N.0.1, N.0.2, etc.)
I tend to agree that we need to recall the vote and redo the files to
include your fixes (which may not save us from RC3, unless the bug
reports suddenly stop flowing)... And maybe also include CAY-1069...
Thoughts?
