This approach has quite a few advantages: * It tends to be short * You can repackage at will * Even changing the classname is merely a question of adding @Entity(name="OldName") If Objectify users always register their classes explicitly, their code will always work. Not "most of the time" or "for most queries" but *all of the time*. It would be trivial to autoregister classes on first explicit use, but it wouldn't work *all of the time*.
