EXTRA LAZY collection option

Dear user community,

the EXTRA LAZY collection option is deprecated since Hibernate version 6.2. I was not aware of that because my application is still on version 5. I am wondering if i am the only one who is completely against this deprecation since for me this option is a killer feature of Hibernate which makes the programming much more generic and thus convenient.

See here the discussion on Hibernate ORM - Issues - Hibernate JIRA

Would be glad to hear some opinions. Many thanks in advance.
