Whoa! All I did was report two problems that I encountered when 
upgrading from version2 to version3! I was told that my problems were 
not problems at all; In fact one of them was a feature!  That sounds 
kinda arrogant to me.
    As far as freezing the language, I made no such statement or 
request. But I did imply that a migration document would have been 
useful. I certainly don't feel qualified to write such a document 
because I'm pretty sure that my puny application hardly represents an 
exhaustive test of SQLite version compatibly -- and software testing is 
something that I happen to know quite a bit about.
    *re documentation suggestions:* Well, in fact I have. I suggested 
that a definition of exactly what is meant by "applied affinity" is needed.
