I disagree strongly. "...cascade delete is only easy if you’re a very experienced programmer or who knows what he’s [sic] doing." No it's not. Nothing could be easier than foreign key constraints & cascade deletes in a re

oh yeah. That's probably why I assumed "collaborators" must have had access to private edx repos.
