Yeah, but in this case the file would be racy, as racy-checks use
the same comparison now.

IMO change detection is so fundamental that it should Just Work,
without having a plethora of config options that we need to explain
to end users.

If that means that once in a million cases we need an extra content
check to revalidate such falsely racy entries, that's fine with me.

Cheers,
