Joseph,

We just have the binaries for WO and that is not going to change.

Should we lose binary compatibility in a future JVM release, WO will no longer 
work.  That’s an “if”, so, no way to tell.

Andrus has been working on Cayenne for a very long time, and it’s a viable 
replacement for EOF.  For other things, you’d have to look elsewhere.
