If I were to fork SQLite, drawing users away from the main project would be a non-goal. The goal would be to get strict tables and foreign key constraints enforced 100% of the time.

Yeah, I would assume that any project like this would strive to be a soft fork that just has a few minimal patches to address specific needs, not something that actually tries to compete with the original.

Agreed! If I were to fork sqlite, that would be my aim.

If that was the case, they wouldn't introduce cross incompatibilities in the changes they made (or would at least discuss compatibility in the docs), and they'd make any added features useful to others by properly documenting them.

Compatibility for libSQL is a one way street. I don't expect Limbo to be any different.
