cascading deletes are probably fine because now ForeignKey allows to override that behavior

-By default, on `Model.delete()` Django emulates `ON DELETE CASCADE`. On App Engine this is not possible because queries are disabled while running a transaction. Even without transactions this can be very inefficient on App Engine, SimpleDB, and other NoSQL DBs because Django has to run a lot of queries and retrieve a lot of model instance. Even worse, since this operation is so inefficient it can be absolutely impossible to retrieve all related entities if there are significantly more than 1000 entities (on GAE the 1000 results limit has been removed, but it's still not possible to retrieve e.g. 5000 results).

-It should be possible for backends to override cascading deletes (e.g. on App Engine the backend might distribute the deletion across background tasks to handle the load).
-
-For now, in Django-nonrel cascading deletes are completely disabled. This obviously is not a good long-term solution.
