Replying to [comment:23 akaariai]:
> We can get rid of the delete cascade problem - any model outside
currently available apps should be empty, so cascading to those models
should not do anything in any case. But the truncate cascade problem is
harder. PostgreSQL won't let you truncate a table if all dependant tables
aren't truncated in the same query, even if those dependant tables are
empty. We can either use TRUNCATE CASCADE (but this can cascade to models
outside of Django's control), or the current logic of expanding cascades.
I thought requiring every related app to be in `available_apps` solved
this problem?
I wanted to document it like this:
https://github.com/aaugustin/django/commit/4717a1e
If the trade-off is "a few more apps in available_apps" vs. "logic for
expanding cascades", I'm choosing the first one :)
As far as I can tell, for Django's own test suite, we don't have the
problem because we don't have inter-app FKs, do we?
