That is where I see a problem, too.

sqlite3 has problematic implications.  There may be a good solution
but we have not determined that.  Meanwhile, other solutions were
there to be considered.

We should not have rushed the decision on what to do.  We should have
taken it slow, leaving time for people to study various solutions and
make a thoughtful decision.

Perhaps that decision would have included installing sqlite3.  I won't
say it wouldn't.  But we should not repeat the way that decision was
made.
