Yeah, we thought about that... 

Pros: 

- No conflict. 
- More things work (like the plugins that need sqlite)

Cons: 

- Doesn't work on epel5. 
- Might have breakage from time to time since it's a devel version. 

I'd be ok with this approach if we kept supybot in epel5 and if the
supybot maintainer is on board. ;)
