After you submit a patch. ;-)

But really: this is a large project.  I don't think we have any 
concrete plans to convert completely to Hibernate by a certain date, 
but I do think that where possible, we will use it for new projects 
going forward.  We were using it as the back-end for one of our 
projects last week, but had to back off because mapping the current 
database structure to Hibernate turns out to be a non-trivial exercise.

Lastly, we're very happy to take community submissions, and one of the 
nice things about Hibernate support is that it can be done in pieces.
