[Boulder Ruby Group] ar validations licking the balls

[ara.t.howard]

given that this happens to be the case

   http://drawohara.tumblr.com/post/18926188

it seems that *any* validation should alter the behavior of  
Base#create to force the isolation level - otherwise validations end  
up being nothing be a stack of race conditions.  sorry if i'm late to  
the party but this came as a real surprise to me.  at the very least  
it seems the docs should have a big fat warning about this or the  
code itself should warn when using validations and the client code is  
not under a strictly serializable transaction.

how are other's out there dealing with this issue?

kind regards
