But that's inconsistent and greatly devalue the usefulness of R select layer
option -- since instead of just selecting the layer I still have to manually
look through the layer stack. If the user don't know that it is intended(and
the chances of that are HUGE) he'll decide it's a bug and stop using the
instrument all together(That's actually my case and a few other users of krita
at my work).

And I don't even understand how can you paint on a locked layer immediately
after selecting it with 'R' -- it's locked, you should get a warning, since R
is for _selecting_, not painting. And that reasoning is kinda confusing and
mixing two different scenarios into one, actually. 

Because in case of _selecting_ you are only choosing the layer whatever the
purpose is, and when you are _painting_, you have already chosen the layer that
you will paint on with a full understanding of the layer properties. Trying to
cut some corners and save half a second in one place(immediately painting)
actually increase tenfold the time that is spent in the other place(selecting
and organizing layers).
