Although the roots can shoot themselves quite easily,
perhaps a mechanics to make it _slightly_ more difficult
in form of mandatory file locking and exclusive open.
I don't mean the usual O_EXCL, but something which *really*
allows only one file descriptor to open the file.
Also, modifying file i-node could not happen by somebody
else, while the file is open. (that is, no delete with
file open.. ..unless by the file opener.)
