one other advantage of the last patch i submitted is that it makes the
django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage easier to test by making
its dependency to django.core.files.locks explicit.
the other advantage is that django.core.files.locks don't need to be
more special-cased to support each possible filesystem.
you can then have a short list of "officially" supported filesystems
and let the user take the risk of using another one.

anyway, i won't push this change anymore, i understand your point of
view.
if needed i will keep applying my patch after each django upgrade.
at least, the patch is attached to the ticket and the workaround is
documented if somebody face the same problem.

sorry about that, i'm not fluent in english, i may have not properly
understand something, or may have failed to correctly express my point
of view.
if i have hurt you in any way, i sincerely apologies.
