the conflict detection code of everything before is broken too.
we recognized that, and ripped it out, and will put it back in soonish.

as long as you use ocfs, conflicting writes "should never happen" anyways.

and of course, it is still not ready for production.
otherwise we won't name it 'pre', right?
