Comment (by mfields):
I'm all for this feature to be added and would like to share my
experiences with taxonomy meta as well as my thoughts on why a term meta
table is important in core.
I created a [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/taxonomy-images/ taxonomy
images plugin] a while ago and it has been really well received. It stores
a serialized array of image->ID => term_taxonomy_id in a single row of the
options table. While this is not ideal it seems to work and will
accommodate thousands of image/term associations. I thought all was well
and then one day I received a [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-
taxonomy-images-beta-exportimport-doesnt-retain-taxonomy-images?replies=2
support request] alerting me that my plugin did not retain associations
when a user moved a blog using the [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins
/wordpress-importer/ WordPress Importer] plugin.
Having a core term meta table that is able to be imported/exported from
one installation to another is very important.
I would also like to become more involved in core. If this enhancement is
accepted I am more than willing to help see it through for 3.2.
Best,
-Mike
