We actually don't use this in lockutils - we use our own
implementation of LockFile because there was some sort of outstanding
bug in pylockfile that made it not work for us.  The only place I can
see that we do use that project is in the oslo.db code because we
didn't want to depend on incubator modules there, but once
oslo.concurrency graduates we can switch to using our own locking
implementation again.

Basically I think this would be duplicating what we're already doing
in lockutils, so I'm -1 on it.  I'd rather focus on getting
oslo.concurrency graduated and remove pylockfile from
global-requirements to make sure no one is using it anymore.

This also makes me wonder if oslo.concurrency should not be an oslo.*
library since this functionality is more generally applicable outside
OpenStack.  Something to discuss anyway.
