There is no specific objection to SQL.  There is a general objection
to adding more utilities to the base system unless a _very_ good case
can be made for including them.  So far, no-one has made a compelling
reason to include SQLite (or other SQL engine) into the base system.

SQLite does appear to be a potential candidate for the base system -
the license is acceptable and it is relatively small.  On the downside,
SQLite is currently undergoing rapid development - at a rate much
faster than FreeBSD can comfortably accomodate.

That depends on how everything is implemented.  It doesn't really
solve the underlying problem that a database is needed.

Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement
an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
