 > I know that we are only a few months from having this in core now, but
 just want to share a method for doing term-meta without adding a table
 that works now and can be transitioned into using core in the future.

 There are also a few other plugins (even in repo) trying to achieve the
 same thing, and if they authors wanna to (and I think that they should
 want to), they can all provide in release corresponding to 4.4 conversion
 script and end up as just a compatibility layer, translating requests from
 theme or other plugins (before they have also been upgraded for use native
 implementation). @boonebgorges
 [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/core/p1440007896001728 said on
 Slack] that this should cause issues, but I think that transition of
 plugin features should be a plugin thing, not a core thing.

 But now we have 4.3, and it's the best time to start working on real
 implementation. I'll be glad if I can cooperate with some of you on
 feature plugin for 4.3, which can be safely merged into core in 4.4. :)
