   Hi @metaperl, thanks for the feedback. A couple of points:
   
    @villebro is correct, SQLite is not a production-ready datastore, so this should only affect development setups for the vast majority of organizations. Migrating a development setup to our dockerized system should not require bringing development data along for the ride. I don't foresee many (if any) having to transition metadata databases as a result of this change. 
   
   You'll notice that there is a deprecation period for the SQLite support - it will not be yanked immediately. If we hear feedback during that time that organizations will need support migrating the data to a different datastore it will be a good idea to provide a migration path to the community.
   
   I appreciate your enthusiasm. One minor process point is important here though - only Apache Software Foundation committers are able to vote on SIPs. I myself am not yet a committer, so I have no ability to vote yea or nea on this proposal.
   
   Does your organization use SQLite in production? If so, I would love to learn more about your deployment so that we can support organizations like yours better!
