That page describes situations where SQLite doesn't give best available performance, reduce complexity, or provide needed features, and then goes on to justify those conclusions (including recognizing how SQLite isn't unique in these respects: "This isn't an indictment of SQLite itself -- any other relational embedded DB would pose the same challenges."). I'm not sure what point you were raising in your post, so I'll have to guess. Your summary suggests that you expected SQLite Consortium members will endorse SQLite even in situations where SQLite isn't a good fit due to preferring other tradeoffs. Are SQLite Consortium members somehow obliged to endorse SQLite for tasks even when other approaches present more desirable tradeoffs? If so, where is this obligation published?
