Really? Dropping constraints fits the definition of "nearly compliant"?
Not sure I'd agree with that. It makes it fairly useless for a very wide
range
of users coming from a commercial db environment, because such users tend
to use referential integrity very heavily.
Regarding the rest of your note, I should hope that what's clear is that
folks don't really have a beef with your stepping up to the plate to
implement an important feature, but rather the fait-accompli approach
you took rather than raising the issue for discussion beforehand.
