Judging from past experience, that would not be a good idea.

However, libbsdsqlite is a *very* good idea, now that there's finally
one user it which cannot be hacked around :) It will help both present
development (the pkgng is also AFAIK using sqlite) and future
developments (all the little binary-blob databases in the system could
finally use something structured and future-proof). I will personally
teach any doubting Thomas on how wonderful sqlite and SQL in general
really is [*] ;)
