Just out of curiosity, can I please ask you to try your use case(s) with a current release (e.g. 1.1.1) and report back to us whether any (or possibly maybe) all problems have been resolved. In other words, I would like to avoid spending an time on issues that have been resolved already as part of the work making e.g. Castor 1.0 GA available.
If there's any unresolved issues, we'll be looking into them through e.g. CASTOR-1313 (assuming that it will be updated to reflect current state).
