Summary0002708: Drop irrelevant/dated database drivers
Descriptionaccess database driver
REASON: Nobody ever has had, or will have, a reason to use Microsoft Access to power a website. MySQL is free and cross-platform and far better as a database engine.

mysql_dbx database driver
REASON: DBX is dead since 2011, PDO replaced it. Nobody has ever had a need for our MySQL DBX driver.

sqlite database driver
REASON: It may be cool, but there's no good reason to use it. It requires more knowledge to maintain an sqlite database file than to simply install a regular MySQL install, and it will never be as good.
