Again, if you are going to be impacted by this change we would like to hear from you. We don't know of much use of these drivers, and their continued maintenance burden does not seem worth it given their limited use.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Howard</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jul 30, 2019 at 9:43 PM Howard Butler <<a href="mailto:howard@hobu.co">howard@hobu.co</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">All,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">I am proposing that we remove the SQLite drivers in the upcoming PDAL 2.0 release.
