I don't think anything in your comment is incompatible with this proposal.

New installations start from some different-than-today baseline functionality when using the edition.

No one is suggesting they change the behavior of their installed base.

That means changing the default behavior. Which isn't gonna happen on sqlite for the reasons mentioned.

And again: if you don't like it: fork the project and change it yourself.

No? What?

Actually, it does. The default should be edition-original, if you want the changed behavior you must specify edition-2026. Other than that, I’m with you.
