Because there are a lot of projects that don't need it.  And TG works fine
without it, just testing fails -- and we don't run tests on production
environments.

I'm not worried with space here...  It just isn't needed for normal
operation.  Otherwise we'd start requiring MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc. that are
also supported (I know it is *very* different, but why add a dependency that
doesn't exist?)...

Just because it is small I don't think it should be there.  And since it is
small enough and easy enough to install, one line at the docs would solve the
problem:

"To run tests you'll need to run: easy_install sqlite"

I am still thinking about this new 'nose' requirement...  It is nice for
development environments, but why have it on a production server?  It was
optional before and is needed now...  

I like having the tools, but if it is easy to install them, and it is in the
docs, and they aren't required for normal operation, why requiring them all
the time, even on a production environment?
