It's discussed in this thread already. Please see: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/QZG6BVLOOYYGLFJQK5RQ5LAPJIL2KMYF/ https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/NYEVENDEUVPRMWD7PJM2IJSR54H25SKI/ Even if the RPM database is only accessed via librpm, it's still important that the most central database present on every Fedora system is reliable, well-tested and flexible. Sqlite is a highly regarded piece of software, which runs on billions of Android phones.
