NO, not again!!!

Can we please stop this nonsense?

Upstream defaults to MySQL for a reason, and strongly recommends NOT using 
the SQLite backend by default. SQLite doesn't support concurrency (i.e. any 
Akonadi operation blocks all others) and is slower.

I think overriding the upstream default is a very bad idea in this case, and 
I'm surprised you are pushing for it that much, you're otherwise always the 
"upstream, upstream, upstream" guy.
