I agree but what do you call 'working configuration' ?

Due to the current limitations you could get simple cases working
while at the same time excluding some very important ones because
they're unsupported.

I'm not 100% sure about this but the fact that you cannot mix local
and global transactions will prevent Hibernate applications to work
when built with JTA. There are many cases where these features that
look not that important at first are quite critical.
