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
