Good point with concurrency. Even so, this is a valid optimization and I
think worths thinking about it.

e.g. a bunch of remove() operations on keys that does not exist would
cause an "read only" participant. There are other ops that might not
modify the remote node, e.g. putIfAbsent, replace(k,v)
