Could some our internal locks (not requiring reentrancy) be moved to this?
Cheers,

As promised (several months ago) an initial version of
class jsr166e.StampedLock is now available. This is
a combined write/read/optimistic lock that has some nice
properties and good performance. For description, see
http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/jsr166/dist/jsr166edocs/jsr166e/StampedLock.html
And see the usual links from
http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/concurrency-interest/index.html
for jsr166e jars and sources.
Reports about usage experiences would be very welcome!
SequenceLock is now moved to "jsr166e.extra" and no longer
a candidate for inclusion in JDK8.
