I didn't object to implementing row level locking. I said that if your
basic algorithm without row level locks is viewn as being broken, it
won't be fixed by implementing row level locking.
What I meant here is just that we shouldn't implement a mode with less
waiting for now even if there might be usecases because that will open
another can of worms.
