I hope one day to see SQLite4, in which everything done to avoid breaking backward compatibility is abandoned.

That's an impossibility.

If you mean that SQLite4 itself will not have to honour backwards compatibility to SQLite3, then yes - but if you intended that SQLite4 itself will have a mechanism by which it will not fall prey to the perils of maintaining backwards compatibility to its own generation, then no, that is impossible. It too will have the same struggle.

One can hope though that, by that time, so many SQL-standard things have been fixed that it won't matter much anymore.
