Stop telling users that another user has modified the content in Drupal 8

Every Drupal developer knows the following error message (maybe some by heart): The content has been modified by another user, changes cannot be saved. In Drupal 8 the message is even a bit longer: The content has either been modified by another user, or you have already submitted modifications. As a result, your changes cannot be saved. While this inbuilt mechanism is very useful to preserve data integrity, the only way to get rid of the message is to reload the form and then redo the changes you want to make. This can be (or should I say 'is') very frustrating for users, especially when they have no idea why this is happening. In an environment where multiple users modify the same content, there are solutions like the Content locking module to get overcome this nagging problem. But what if your content changes a lot by backend calls ?
