Interface/protocol changes aren't particularly tied to a single file
or even a single project.  If you are going to make changes that
affect other things either everyone else needs to know what to expect
or you need to be working on a branch that is kept isolated until
everything else matches.   It doesn't really matter if the file was
locked when you make that change or not.

Or worse, the developer may also change hats and be the admin...
But developers should be doing new, experimental things and admins
should insist on testing before going to production.
