Why do you need it enabled in jewel-era instances? With jewel you can
set them on the fly, and live migrate the VM to get the client to update
its usage of it.

I couldn't find any difference except removing big images is faster with
object-map (which depends on exclusive-lock). So I can't imagine why it
can be required.

And how long did you test it? I tested it a few weeks ago for about a
week, with no hangs. Normally there are hangs after a few days. And I
have permanently disabled it since the 20th, without any hangs since.
And I'm gradually adding back the VMs that died when they were there,
starting with the worst offenders. With that small time, I'm still very
convinced.

And did you test other features? I suspected exclusive-lock, so I only
tested removing that one, which required removing object-map and
fast-diff too, so I didn't test those 2 separately.
