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.
