Comment (by tellyworth):

 I agree.  I stored it there in the first place so as to fit in with the
 existing method of storing image metadata.

 I think we should move all of the image and attachment metadata into
 separate rows rather than a serialized array.

 That serialized array is fetched and updated with
 wp_get_attachment_metadata() and wp_update_attachment_metadata(), so we
 can probably maintain API compatibility and just change the underlying
 storage method.

 There are also some things in the attachment meta that could be cleaned up
 and standardized but that's probably best considered as a separate step.
