That being said, you don't get an innovation rebate for using a new tool, even if, as here, it's a parsimony-enabler. It's still a new tool.

A description from TFA reads "The most important thing you should understand about Litestream is that it's just SQLite." (This reminds me an awful lot of the tagline for CoffeeScript: "It's just JavaScript" -- where did that leave us?) But that info box is just under a description of how the new tool is implemented in a way that makes it sound (to someone who's never looked at the SQLite codebase) like it's breaking some assumptions that SQLite is making. That's the sound of an innovation token being spent.
