Not mentioned is that the full test sqlite test suite is proprietary and you need a super expensive sqlite foundation membership to get access to it. That means (unless you get that membership), your patched/forked version will be less extensively tested than the official version. So sqlite is in reality very difficult to fork. Sqlite is very solid, but bugs do sometimes show up in it despite all that testing, and more relevantly, some bugs in development are presumably caught by the testing, which outsiders don't have access to.<p>I'm somewhat leery of hacking on sqlite for this reason. It seems to me like a good candidate for RiiR.
