Hey Martin It wasn't a request. I think this lock management speeds up the way someone sets the editing scope of envelope weights, that masks not just brush painting but any tool that changes them. I also prefer to use practices that give me better and more rational weights to start with. Added a mock-up of what would a deformer list for that purpose would behave like.
