Inconsistent state between clients was not the issue that was raised here. The issue was unpredictability of continued file access. The designers made a compromise decision. Do not break the callback on the last unlink because it will expire on its own and by doing so permit other clients that are using the file a bit more time to continue using what is in the cache.
