Liam's and Willy's Maple Tree work, combined with Suren's per-VMA locking combined with some of Vlastimil's slab work is pushing in that direction. I believe that things are getting pretty close. As with your work in 2010 and MIT guy's work in 2013, corner-case correctness and corner-case performance regressions continue to provide quite a bit of good clean fun. Thanx, Paul
