FlushMode is "ALWAYS" and can't be switched to "AUTO"

Hi, I am using native hibernate (not JPA) and have noticed that hibernate is always flushing after each sql statement. I then searched to find that this has been a reported issue:
HHH-14501.

This seems like a relatively significant bug and may not be noticed by most users since the behavior for typical functional tests would indicate that nothing is wrong.

The priority is Major, but remains open. Is this something that will be fixed?

Thanks.
