*chuckle* Those are small teams. I've worked on projects (both open and commercial) that had significantly more developers than what you mention above. Locking has *never* been an issue for development. It has, however, been an issue for various PHBses that needed some way to satisfy their hunger for control over the people that actually get the coding done. --Toby.
