Don't worry, I'll veto any immediate removal of functionality ;-)

The correct way to handle this is to add some better userlock
functionality and deprecate what's there.  We can remove the crufty
stuff in a release or three after it's been officially deprecated
... but there is no reason to remove it immediately.  It won't conflict
with a better version, just exist alongside.
