Default bigger lawyer lips on the way?

Seems to me all quick release skewers should come with some kind of
locking mechanism that would prevent loosening after it was fastened.
Even if the skewer were tightened just a little it would not unscrew,
never getting loose enough to bypass the lawyer lips.


A washer with *real* interlocking serrations (not the puny .1 mm deep
crap on QRs now) that on the other side fits in the dropout slot so
it can't rotate would seem to be the obvious answer. If you make left
and right w/ frex 39 and 40 serrations, there is not even the minor
reduction in adjustability.

In addition, people who do not know how to use QRs wouldn't be able to
physically wingnut the skewer closed because the serrations would prevent
tightness.
