Any suggestions on node locking best practices?

Used to be that you can just click on the lock flag and the node gets locked. Now (Houdini 15) you need to go through the menu. I assigned a shortcut key for it so I don't have to go through the menu.
Aside from that I would lock nodes when I need to safe data in file, or when I model something that is not going to change procedurally or when I create a procedure that only I use and there is some really heavy stuff that I rarely need to change/update.
