I think we will learn from the kludge that SVR4 did.  The UoG NFS code has
some interesting experimental code that manages state using leases.  I
think we can lease locking state in the same way.

The assumptions you can make with this method greatly simplifies things
and is a cool way of adding state to systems designed to be stateless.
