I never thought that. If we default to CASCADE then a DROP is likely to
delete stuff that it would not have deleted in prior releases. That
seems *far* more dangerous than "breaking existing code". I doubt
there's much existing code that does automatic DROPs anyway, at least
of things that might have dependencies.
