 wp_post_relationships Table for Post-to-Post Relationships

 Now that WordPress supports custom post types, the next natural step for
 many developers is to establish relationships between posts—whether via
 parent-child or many-to-many associations.

 I’ve implemented a plugin that mirrors taxonomy-based relationships
 between posts, but I’m increasingly running into many of the same issues
 that @prettyboymp and others have pointed out on wp-hackers. This leads me
 to believe it might be time to formally consider adding a dedicated table
 to WordPress to handle post relationships.
