I don't think we can properly mark unversioned obstructions with just the
current datastore. We need that storage to allow an update to complete
regardless of obstructions.
(And we can't keep the original behavior of 1.6 of unversioned obstructions
as an unversioned directory obstructing a different directory wouldn’t be
noticed with a single db).

I would really like to see more of the enhanced conflict storage model in
1.7.

And until we get the code to a proper atomic behavior in the more common
code paths (which I would call a show stopper) this can be implemented in
parallel just fine.

And I don't understand how you call something that hasn't been implemented
'DONE'. Maybe 'postponed' or something like that, but certainly not 'done'.
