is the lack of referential integrity constraint desirable, because the creating instance (Activity) might be created before the created (DataObject?)

I would really like to get away from inserting objects a referential integrity constraint but I don't think we can yet. For example, with NEON the schema updates will happen in parallel to some of the workflow runs because of time constraints.
