    can you elaborate on your reasoning that FK constraints should be

I don't think he means that we will use them less. Our SQL backends are full of them. What Keystone can't do is rely on them because not all implementations of our backends support FKs.

100% spot on David. We support implementations that have no real concept of FK and we cannot assume that a cascade (or restrict) will occur on these implementations.


And even if the back ends do, we split behavior across identity, assignments, and resources ,and FKs cannot cross those; Thety can and will vary independently.
