 Hi All,

 Just wondering if this is still relevant within the scope of WordPress
 today? [https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/phase-3/ Phase 3] is moving
 away from locking posts, and instead move towards more collaborative post
 / page creation through data views. Whilst this hasn't been released yet,
 I feel submitting a patch to change post locking at this stage would
 wrongly or rightly not get much traction and as of such I believe this
 ticket should be marked with the `close` tag, leaving the ticket open for
 further conversation around this topic before it it closed indefinitely.
