Comment(by igloo):

 I think the next step should be a [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac
 /haskell-prime/wiki/Process Haskell' proposal] to remove the locking from
 the report (including a clarification that a no-locking implementation is
 possible on Windows).

 Some people might argue that we should have an implementation first,
 though.
