Nothing, I do it all the time. But my impression is that when an external module moves into the core it frequently undergoes some type of name change (e.g. pysqlite vs sqlite3 or Optik vs optparse) even if the two versions are functionally identical. In this case, my hope is that dbm.sqlite will eventually move into the distributed dbm package. If so, it would be nice if the move was transparent.
