Stuff like this is the exact reason we enabled SQLite by default from the
beginning. We discussed it as soon as SQLite was created and all agreed
that we should have at least one database always enabled.

Now if Type3, one of the largest users of PHP, requires PDO_SQLite, we
should definitively enable it by default.

And actually my opinion is that there hardly is a reason for an extension
to be in core if it is not enabled by default.

Best regards,
 Marcus
