Like Julien I'd like to encourage you to put it in the core. I'd say, in the 
"persistent" module.

If you want unit testing without ZODB dependency, I think you should just 
synthesize states by hand, and test the conflict resolution method.

Because in fact in you current unit tests, you're testing much more, 
including the ZODB mechanisms that detect concurrently modified objects in 
different connections and regenerate old state from the database, etc. It's 
not strictly needed (and is a lot of setup).
