I'm sorry, but I don't understand your answer. 

The wiki seemed to indicate, to me, that the FK situation was a problem,
so I was trying to provide a solution. Personally, I could live with it
either way. But the important thing is: will this aspect prevent
SEPostgreSQL from achieving Common Criteria certification, or not? 

If it will pass, then I'm happy, even if a different, better solution
exists. If it will fail, then we must act. I'm not qualified to say what
will happen, but it would be good to see a very clear answer on this. If
it was already resolved, then please accept my apologies for raising the
issue again. Please could you update the Wiki docs to explain the agreed
resolution, its reasons and references? The design choices we make will
be questioned again in the future, so it will be good to have them
clear. Thanks.
