Exactly!!!
This is NOT a godaddy thing, it's an ICANN thing. At least godaddy saw fit to send me the email and make is stupidly simple to lock my domains! I can't say the same for other registrars....

In fact, at Register.com I had a HELL of a time getting them to lock my domain. Nothing visible on their website unless you dig a bit... Then, even after following their instructions, they came back and said they don't lock domains and that I had nothing to worry about. After I pointed out that I followed THEIR instructions to request the lock, their tune changed but it still took 4 days for them to actually lock it.

Godaddy may not be perfect, but they are not the cause of this and at least they're on the ball!
