Isn’t that exactly what the author suggests? Editions as a set of config options that are already there.

The config options are already implemented, so the heavy lifting is done. Editions would amount to a few hundred bytes.

That's certainly not the case for making STRICT tables the default.

But figuring that out requires understanding how they are implemented, or reading the forum, which the author admittedly didn't do.

The rest are assumptions about best practices (also not shared by the developers of SQLite).
