I'd be glad to test it, but we don't have any issues with fk deadlocks 
since our load is 99% read, 1% write, and most of the tables with fks on 
them only have a handful of writers, so any testing I would do would 
probably just be the "we used it in production and it didn't die" kind of 
testing.
