It's probably best to keep the pickle stuff there to fall back on until
we know sqlite is solid. If sqlite is not installed or the user chooses
not to use it, yum should fall back to using pickles but make it clear
that the user is missing out. The config option should definitely
default to sqlite.
If we want to keep pickle support for the long term, we could refactor
that code to use the new MDParser class to avoid overlapping metadata
parsing functionality.
