Exercise: Find one of the existing issues, either by looking at the task/bug
trackers on savannah, or by trying things out yourself; and take a go at it.
-Probably you wont' be able to fix the problem in a limited amount of time, but
-you should be able to do a detailed analysis of the issue at least.
+Note though that most of these issues are probably not trivial -- it's quite
+likely that you won't be able to actually fix any of them in the time available
+during the application process. However, you might be able to spot something
+else that could be improved while looking into this.
+
+If after trying for a while you haven't found anything easy enough to improve
+in the locking-related code, talk to us about some alternative exercise task.
+Perhaps you actually find something you could do while looking through the bug
+tracker or trying stuff yourself in search of locking issues :-)
