Ah, come on, this is security by obscurity: you're just hiding
names from people that can't see them.
The usual "secure" thing to do is "pause a second, then return an
error". What this means in a world of plentiful parallel resources
(cheap fork) is maybe best left to the imagination. I suppose you could
make the penalty cumulative on a per user basis: if another request
which impacts on a hidden resource comes in while one is still pending.
[But you'd want to be able to disable this for people who don't care
about enforcing the obscurity, and just want to interoperate.]
