 Indeed. But for a single server hosted site we should be able to do
 something very reliable.

 I don't think in core wordpress.org we should be trying to cope for multi
 server multi db scenarios as they would be better served by running the
 cron jobs manually triggered from a true cron job allowing you to do all
 the semaphore or mutex work you wanted.
