Comment (by andehhh):

 I would even go further than classifying this ticket just as
 "enhancement". From a users' point of view this behavior is not desirable.
 When doing processing on a table using PostGIS 2.5.x the
 {{{AccessExclusiveLock}}} prevents any other user to even view the data in
 e.g. QGIS.
 Also when it comes to development tasks where many trial runs for
 processes are necessary it would always have effects on the front end as
 well.

 cheers
