I can't speak for Roman, but the biggest thing that keeps me from using newer 
sqlite features is that I write desktop apps in Python and have to run on 
whatever version of Python happens to be installed on my target machines. It's 
python's sqlite3 module's version that I have to rely on, which I can't control 
(and is generally 3.7 or so)

I'd actually prefer to depend on APSW (a Python sqlite library that doesn't try 
to wrap sqlite in Python's database standard, so you get more direct access to 
sqlite), but there's no easy way for my app to do so because of the author's 
opinions of the standard Python ways to require packages 
(http://rogerbinns.github.io/apsw/download.html#easy-install-pip-pypi)

So unless I can control the entire compilation process of Python or of some 
external utilities, I have to use 3.7.
