--- Comment #8 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
Take a look at the attachments of bug 141026, it was always possible to open
locked files. 

The data loss actually happens only after someone else saved first, and you
ignore the warning. We could disallow overwriting files with a newer timestamp.

And of course we could drop the ability to open such a file in first place.
