Dear Jakub, you are correct but we need a pragmatic approach!

If I have understood well the intent of the page creators, that page is a sort of
semaphore to avoid some conflicts (not all). I think that that page doesn't
(and it shouldn't) reflect the small fixies that are easily resolved if they are
really small...
The page is meant for telling to all us: " ... I'm doing a massive chenge here.
Please do not do the same on the same area until I've committed it all, then
go..."
