If the user wants to run status during an update then exclusive locking must not be enabled. If the user is happy with one process having exclusive access then exclusive locking is a major performance gain. If the user isn't making that decision how else can it be made?

In case of the CoDeSys Subversion Plugin, said Plugin is the only one expected to access the working copy, as it is hidden from the user. So using an exclusive lock to gain speedups certainly is an option.
