All the above means is that write-region is overridden by ange-ftp and
ange-ftp is going to be replaced by efs.

C-h f write-region
write-region: (start end filename &optional append visit lockname)
  -- an alias for ange-ftp-write-region, an interactive compiled Lisp function.
Write current region into specified file.

Write-region got the lockname parameter in 19.14, so there's nothing
new there.  Emacs 19.34 has it too.  jka-compr.el doesn't look like it
has been updated for awhile, perhaps it needs some work now.
