Question... Now that Abe has graciously resolved OpenJPA-134 ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-134), I would really like to see this get included into the 0.9.7 release. This fix looks to resolve the redundant sql joins that were dogging the performance of certain benchmarks. By including this fix in the 0.9.7 release, I think our OpenJPA story would be all that much better.
Since we haven't started a vote yet, are there any issues with either re-cutting the 0.9.7 branch or applying Abe's fix to the 0.9.7 branch before starting a vote? I would assume that neither of these options would cause much headache for Mike (famous last words)... Kevin
