As for removing the locks altogether -- well, any Discworld readers care to point out how often the "million to one chance of a collision" would occur?
Oooh, do tell, a horror story? I love those!
In this case, if there were no locks and the "million to one chance of a collision" occurred, the worst that can happen is that one article gets corrupted.
That's bad, of course, but the edit lock problem persists in being persistently annoying.
It might be a lot better if I just looked into a 'one lock per article' solution.
