FWIW, we try very hard to not write any check constraints and do any such validation at the protocol level, before the request even hits the authn/authz layer. (Spyne makes it easy ! http://spyne.io)

I like check constraints. I would never consider removing them under any circumstances, I've dealt with far too many databases full of inconsistent data. I'd just rather not have to duplicate them (or triplicate, etc) in each of my apps that accesses the database.
