correcting myself, the feature is already present (and is documented):
mapper(Person, persons, properties={
'country': relation(Country, backref=backref('persons',
passive_deletes='all'), passive_updates=True)})
:param passive_deletes=False:
Indicates loading behavior during delete operations.
A value of True indicates that unloaded child items should not
be loaded during a delete operation on the parent. Normally,
when a parent item is deleted, all child items are loaded so
that they can either be marked as deleted, or have their
foreign key to the parent set to NULL. Marking this flag as
True usually implies an ON DELETE <CASCADE|SET NULL> rule is in
place which will handle updating/deleting child rows on the
database side.
Additionally, setting the flag to the string value 'all' will
disable the "nulling out" of the child foreign keys, when there
is no delete or delete-orphan cascade enabled. This is
typically used when a triggering or error raise scenario is in
place on the database side. Note that the foreign key
attributes on in-session child objects will not be changed
after a flush occurs so this is a very special use-case
setting.
