Comment (by _ck_):

 I am not sure what the plan here is but I hope isn't not to have a mutual
 single meta table for all types of tables (user, topic, forum) because
 mysql will only work with one index per query. This means that if you left
 join on the topic_id for example, you could not use an index for the meta
 type, so it would be relatively slow and inefficient.

 Is the plan for a separate table or stored in regular options (ie. as
 topic 0).

 Oh wait I see in the patch `CREATE TABLE $bbdb->forummeta` so good, it's a
 separate table.

 This missed 0.9 release somehow?
