Hi, My whole argument was that I am pretty sure that you can solve the problems mentioned by thinking about the root of the transactions in a different way than the traditionaly update user a and user b.
The thing that I like about GAE at the moment is that it has meant that I change the way I think about creating applications. The problem that a lot of new developers have with GAE (and I am not saying anyone in this conversation is new) is that they think about developing applications in a "Relational DB" style, which in my opinon is wrong. I honestly suspect, and this is what I was saying before, the reason why the item is not higher on the list, is that it isn't easy to read and understand that you may need it at a priority.
