I'm not really getting your point here. Moving things back and forth
would not make any sense, but that's not what I was asking either.

I noticed that you were taking locks in a larger scope (and earlier)
than before. I was just thinking would it be possible to make that
locking changes in a separate patch, that way it would be easier to
bisect regressions if/when they show up.
