Comment (by Hube2):

 I really think that transients and putting in a new table is a completely
 separate discussion.

 Changing option_name from varchar(64) to varchar(255) is really a rather
 simple schema change that should have no other effects on WP other then
 stopping the silent failure to get values from the database because the
 option_name value was too long and truncated when the value was saved. I
 just don't understand why this is 5 years old.
