This call for testing is interesting: note there was not a single
mention of foreign key locking getting a huge change, and please test it
and see whether it still works at all for you. I asked Josh
specifically to mention it in a followup to this message which you can
see in that thread. There was no reply, which I took as "this isn't a
new feature and isn't user visible anyway, so what would be the point?"
But hey, what the hell do I know about advocacy anyway, huh? So I shut
up.
