We should investigate why many cheap hosting companies do not allow lock table permissions, and find out how widely this will effect Drupal upgrading to 4.7.
One reason might be because the MySQL manual has LOCK TABLES permissions classified as a "server administration" permission, alongside stuff like SHUTDOWN and SUPER which you would never want to give a "peon" user: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/privileges-provided.html CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES has this classification as well, although it seems like most support requests for 4.7 have been about hosts not providing LOCK TABLES permission. -Angie
