Comment (by skeltoac):

 random's suggestion is one I've also proposed. The counter-argument was
 that it would make it difficult for non-PHP scripts to make use of string
 data in our options tables.

 I think it's pretty trivial to parse a PHP serialized string, so we
 shouldn't worry about non-PHP programs integrating with our options
 tables. Serializing every option is fine by me.
