Comment (by manfcarlo):

 I forgot there was a trac ticket for this. In my opinion, if this was
 going to be done, it needed to be in 5.8 or 5.9, which obviously didn't
 happen. At today's stage, changing the data model in production would be
 too risky unless there were detailed designs about how it is going to be
 used, which also hasn't happened. There is also no guarantee that, once
 the designs are done, the data model proposed here would be the most
 suitable one. Nor was there any guarantee about the taxonomy-based one
 either, and most people seemed to agree that it would need to be replaced
 at some point, but the longer it waits, the more carefully planned and
 tested the alternative needs to be, and I don't see this particular trac
 ticket being involved in the process.
