There's a big difference between something that is deprecated and something that isn't getting any new features. JDO/JPA is most certainly not deprecated. We are making sure it is keeping pace with our new SDK releases, and we hope to be able to start enhancing it as soon as we can. There is still a lot of good and important work to be done on this library, but the App Engine team always prioritizes the reliability and availability of our product over feature-related work, and as of late, those of us working on the Datastore have been almost entirely focused on the former (did you see the mention of the "High Replication Datastore" in our latest blog post<http://googleappengine.blogspot.com/2010/12/happy-holidays-from-app-engine-team-140.html> ?)
Finally, I'll point out that our DataNucleus plugin is completely open source. If you or anyone else in the community would like to submit a patch with thorough test cases we will be happy to work with you to get it submitted.
