StatelessSession has nothing to do with lack of a transaction!

The use of a strategy configuration object would fine from the Hibernate API users perspective and head off the possibility of legacy API kruft issues (when another parameter is wanted in the future). Would I be correct in saying that operations using a StatelessSession are not part of a transaction ? If so are you proposing to _REMOVE_ the Session#replicate() operation completely that is part of a transaction. Providing for both stateful and stateless would cover all bases and have their valid use cases. Maybe I am misunderstanding something here.
