We started with JPA and an RDBMS because we assumed it would be the lowest common denominator for implementers. We assumed pretty much everyone would already have a RDBMS of some type running in their datacenter, but weren't sure that would necessarily be true for NoSQL stores. We very much want to be able to support NoSQL stores though and have been trying our best to keep the right extensibility points in the codebase and the object model clean enough to easily allow for it.
