FW: [psg.com #312] AutoReply: Locked Admin State

The following is the proposed resolution to entstate-312. The issue will be
considered closed with no changes made to the document.

I had proposed that logical locks were more useful and supportable from a
software perspective than physical ones. There was no response. I propose
keeping the definition as is.
