Lenny, As for whether ASM will be upgraded in the next version of 5.3, I don't see why not, if there is any demand for it. All the developer focus has been on 5.4, of course, so currently there doesn't seem to be a need for any 5.3.8 release. As always, that can change.
As I understand it, ASM is "baked in" with a modified package name so that there isn't a risk of class conflicts with any other occurrences of ASM in users' applications and libraries such as Hibernate.
