Out of interest, why is dot locking used instead of fcntl here?
My laziness. It's annoying to create different code for locking files via different ways in different places. (The files are created/written to in different ways, the locking can't simply be abstracted out into generic code. At least not too easily.)
Of course the planned filesystem abstraction for v2.1/v3.0 should help with these problems in future.
