Re: Locking files for CLASH_DETECTION now supported on MS-Windows

[Richard Stallman]

    It depends on one's point of view.  Before, locking worked on
    GNU/Linux hosts.  With the change, locking is no longer reliable on
    GNU/Linux hosts if an MS-Windows session is active or has crashed.
    So GNU/Linux users are worse off than before.  MS-Windows users
    are better off of course, but we should strive for a solution
    that doesn't also make GNU/Linux users worse off.

We must not make things worse for GNU/Linux users
to cater to Windows users.
