That is my personal inclination as well, though I am somewhat reticent to say
so, since I am not doing any of the work to rip and replace. At the same time
choice of ORM is a big issue. I know, for instance that Alex was looking into
finding another ORM for the rest of CloudStack. When I initially looked at the
Hibernate issue, Prachi told me she thought it was about 2 weeks worth of work.
