Yes, I see your point.

Nevertheless, I think there is a difference between a feature being an
annoyance for some use cases and a feature causing dataloss. If I
understood you correctly, then we both agree that not making the files
read-only (or taking one of the other measures described in the initial
bug description) will result in dataloss when a (non-technical) user
follows his intuitive expectations. I think that is an entirely
different category than loosing a couple of seconds when the file is
read-only and needs to be saved under a new name. For that reason I very
much plead for the default behaviour to be read-only.

Making this configurable is something I'm not opposed to either, but I
fear that the developers may be reluctant to add too many optional
features.

It seems to me that we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.
