* JCR lock == sync
Can you elaborate? I'd either implement locking correctly or not
implement it at all, not something in between that a client can't
really rely on.
AFAIU it this was related to a clustered setup where locking might be
quite expensive. We might want to offer reduced locking functionality
(or none at all) in this case. OTOH we should definitely have a look at
Apache Zookeper [1] (thanks Bertrand) which might help us solving some
of these issues.
