As it turns out, all writes to the log database are already serialized. (Makes sense, since it's a flat structure and we're effectively just appending new entries onto the end.) As such, we don't lose anything (more) by serializing up front.I believe neither of these are sufficient. One cannot predict which of multiple modifications commits first (with or without retries). Which is why the lowest outstanding CSN is to be used for the cookie...We could brute force it and fully serialize writes...
