A good fraction of these changes relate to the FTS5 code, which would not be compiled in to base. I would not characterize those changes as feature creep, but rather a fundamental correction to the previous search algorithm, which was broken in that it did not scale well to moderate sized (multi-GB) corpuses with conjunctive queries. If, based on compile time flags, the FTS code is disabled, I am not sure that everything within those pre-processor flags should be considered when assessing the size of the patch or feature creep. I cannot comment on the (many) other changes requiring review, except perhaps the null-pointer bug I found in FTS4.
