There are a couple of factors here.

(1)  I am philosophically opposed to the entire  
SQLITE_ENABLE_COLUMN_METADATA concept.  If I had my way, I would  
delete the entire thing.

(2)  There is a run-time performance hit for all users of SQLite if  
SQLITE_ENABLE_COLUMN_METADATA is turned on.  All users pay this  
penalty regardless of whether or not they actually use column metadata.

These two factors are sufficient to convince me to leave it turned off  
by default.
