If you mean we should wait 2 weeks and then issue the 1.27-stable as soon as 
SQLite 3.6.20 comes out and include that, for the main reason that this would 
include the first batch of fixes (if any) to SQLite itself following its 
foreign-keys major update, then that sounds reasonable, so our testers of 
foreign keys get those fixes.  Especially relevant if the changes to add foreign 
key enforcement might have broken something unrelated to foreign keys.  But we 
should wait no longer than 3.6.20 to issue our own stable release.  And our 
stable would have foreign keys disabled by default. -- Darren Duncan
