OCaml 5 recently solved the global lock problem by introducing concurrent domains in which one or more threads share a lock. So old code keeps spawning threads with a shared lock, but new code can work with single-thread domains and manag

Well, I said "just hashes" for sort, but such ETag formats could agree on other algorithms as well, as long as the browser can verify them. And introducing a new method doesn't solve the issue of deprecating the existing abus

Neither does Last-Modified, as we just saw. If we were going to alter the meaning of a header for this, it should be ETag. Just agree on ETag formats that browsers can verify are just hashes, and have them throw away any opaque ETags or dat
