(Taking off Macromedia cap and speaking as just one of yall...)
The question is - do you want CF to automatically handle everything for
you at the sacrifice of speed? Here is a good example:
<cfset session.x = 1>
<cfset session.y = 2>
<cfloop ...>
<cfset session["foo#x#" = >
</cfloop>
If CF had to auto lock this, it would need to use:
<cflock ..>
<cfset session.x = 1>
</cflock>
<cflock ..>
<cfset session.y = 2>
</cflock>
<cfloop ...>
<cflock ...>
...
</cflock>
</cfloop>
It would be very difficult to make a system smart enough to know "Hey, I
could use one lock around this particular block of code." Therefore, we
would be stuck with the slower alternative. Personally, I'd rather just
do the work. It can't be that hard to cflock, or duplicate to the
request scope.
...... again, all of the above is my personal opinion, not that of the
company.....
