I'd agree in principle, but I think there might be performance issues with that approach. Either way, cross-engine 2PC needs to be fixed first (that is, implementation completed beyond where the code is now).

Cheers,

I would personally never want to see FK across engines. It is a complete
mess...  Innodb has them, and that is fine to me.

A cross engine FK is not on the list right now, and I doubt we will ever see
it. It is not in the target list of features for the short term.
