The real problem is that for database locking - you need a filesystem with
more specific characteristics - which may be more difficult to determine.
True; however, I don't feel bad about not supporting the use of a
Kerberos database located in AFS and accessed via NFS through a NFS/AFS
gateway. :-)
And as far as the test suite is concerned, if it doesn't pass because
someone is using a filesystem that doesn't have the full POSIX locking
semantics, that's not a problem that I think we should stress over.
