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.
