Agreed. This probably mostly affects RHEL 7 which, while not being antiquated 
from the point of view of RedHat's release policies, still ships with outdated 
components by todays' standards. So RHEL 7 users have two options: use PROJ 
5.x or PROJ 6 + backported SQLite.

This motion is mostly purely procedural to be in compliance with
"Changing the version requirements for a dependency needs to be approved by 
the PSC."
of https://proj.org/community/rfc/rfc-3.html as Kristian reminded me.
