I agree with the general sentiment that a redesign is the correct long term action - it has been for some time now - but implementing a new storage and retrieval method and verifying that it introduces no new problems itself is non-trivial.  There's a reason it remains a comment.

I don't see any issues with the patch itself.   Do we really want to forego the short term, low-hanging, low risk fruit in favor of waiting indefinitely for that well-tested long-term solution?
