FWIW, I think that the above is intended as a joke in English. "Lock"
and "luck" sound similar, so this is telling you that you just got
unlucky in this case and have no locking.

Typically, we don't take cosmetic cleanup patches unless they are
accompanied with substantive changes. If you're working in this area on
real code changes and want to clean up a comment, then go for it, but
otherwise this sort of change tends to make backporting more difficult
later.
Hi Jeff,

Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate you taking the time to clarify
the policy around cosmetic changes. I wasn't fully aware of the
backporting implications, and I'll certainly keep this in mind for future
contributions. If I work on substantive changes in this area later, I'll
revisit the cleanup alongside those modifications.

Thanks again for the guidance!

Best regards,
Lingfeng
