There are several lock servers out there (including a recipe for using beanstalkd as a lock server since it's closer to having the necessary facilities than memcached). It'd take a lot of twisting to get memcached to act like a good lock server. It'd take a lot to get memcached to act like a good queue server as well. It's a pretty good cache, though. I say we just use it for that. :)
