So people can take it or ignore it depending on their needs, yet we can all help making sure it keeps working for future releases. I would not incorporate it into the hibernate-core artifact so that we can exclude it from inclusion in e.g. WildFly until we feel it's ready for that. No rush though, I guess it would be easier to wait for some 6.0 branch to be stable.
