Come on, get real.
Do you suggest the "deadly embrace" would be better and he would get his
results any quicker?
And anyway, an ER doc not getting his lab results because of a mass
update process running as a phantom encountering a locked record?
And who would hold a lock on those lab results while they are being
transferred?
Come up with a real life problem and I'll give you a real life solution.
Remember, the impossible I do straight away but miracles may take a bit
longer!

was skipped so we could implement a trivial solution that was suggested for deadly
embrace. Try again, and hope for the best that it goes through this time."

Your second solution only works if one of the processes is controlled by a
human.
I've encountered deadly embraces between two phantom routines.
Your first solution works, if we have the luxury of skipping locked records.
Some update routines, don't have that luxury as most accountants will let you
know quite clearly with loud noises and waving of arms.
