This is so strange. As a developer I love the idea that there are some consistency guarantees. For example, when looping over a table with FK constraints, I can grab the referred FK row without having to have worry about the error-case that the referred row is not there, saving such tons of code clutter.

But maybe these are the developers that wouldn't check for that anyway. :-/
