Checks for explicit locks are unnecessary for ContentCollections

Description

Calling CHS.allowUpdateCollection(id) or CHS.allowUpdateResource(id) (to see whether the current user can update a content entity) results in a call to checkExplicitLock(id). Locks are created using the RESOURCE_UUID, so checkExplicitLock(id) checks whether the entity has a RESOURCE_UUID and tries to assign one if it doesn't. Since ContentCollection's do not have RESOURCE_UUID's, this results in three meaningless SQL queries each time checkExplicitLock(id) is called.

This ticket seems like it might be dead... suggest we kill it unless it gets some activity before 2014

Is this still relevant or has the code changed around since this ticket was created?

Here are samples for the three queries:

select RESOURCE_UUID from CONTENT_RESOURCE where RESOURCE_ID=x'2F757365722F61333861393663612D393531392D343337302D623239392D3733343230323937646166352F'

update CONTENT_RESOURCE set RESOURCE_UUID = null where RESOURCE_UUID = x'36373961373031622D383930312D343431332D393966372D326461353934373330313832'

update CONTENT_RESOURCE set RESOURCE_UUID = x'36373961373031622D383930312D343431332D393966372D326461353934373330313832' where RESOURCE_ID = x'2F757365722F61333861393663612D393531392D343337302D623239392D3733343230323937646166352F'

All three of these queries are issued while handling a call to DbContentService.getUuid(id), which is called by CHS.checkExplicitLock(id).

Assigning to Noah for comments about whether there is any reason not to eliminate the call to checkExplicitLock(id) for collections. Explicit locks are used primarily (or exclusively?) for OSP artifacts, I believe. So the question is whether eliminating this call for collections would create a problem for OSP.
