I'm aware of the original mail. Fact is, there has been extensive dicussion about this mail (with Dan *not* returning to the list). We have tried to analyze the problem, and we have made proposals how to achieve the desired semantics. I even posted a test suite. We are now waiting for feedback, in particular a discussion whether our proposal works for the clients or not (in which case they need to explain *why*). It seems to be impossible to get this kind of feedback. Until we get it, I'd propose to consider this particular issue (how to let a request succeed when the lock token is known, but the lock has gone away) as closed.
