Thanks Andy.

In all fairness, Jeff did not post his message in a blog. He posted
his concerns here on the Roller dev list and then Matt Raible and I
blogged about it. So blame us hit-seeking bloggers for stirring
things up.

I've heard other people express the similar questions/concerns about
JDO (but not specifically JPOX) and so I'm glad to hear that you are
aware of them and have good answers for them.
