I would probably not upgrade to SQLite3 this very instance, but that is 
partially influenced by the fact that I base my stuff on 
sqlite-ruby-2.* and stuff that also does. My life is controlled more by 
dependencies than preference.

My comment would be that Net::SSH is infinitely more interesting since 
SQLite(-ruby) 2 is working and functional. Bets are SQLite 3 may not 
offer an worthwhile advantage right away (although it probably will 
down the line).

Just FYI however: As far as I can read the last beta of SQLite was 
3.0.6b, and current is 3.0.8. Has anyone run this version and can say 
how unstable it seems?
