The only use case I am really interested in for "simple map based" 
caching is the test suite.  Its the whole reason I did not do the things 
Strong and I discussed on the other thread already.

Perhaps we move "simple map based" caching impl to the hibernate-testing 
module?  The the test suite can continue to use it but we have 
explicitly published the intent.

And yes I totally agree that we should be driving folks to proper cache 
integrations, namely the infinispan and/or ehcache integrations.  The 
others (oscache, swarmcache, etc) have been removed already.
