 As per [https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-
 dev&day=2011-09-07&sort=asc#m309350 today's dev chat]
 [attachment:17979.12.diff] switches over to theme mods instead of
 transients.  It stores an associative array where [data] is the
 $sidebars_widgets array and [time] is time() from when it's stored.  We
 currently do nothing with time() but it's there so we can use it in the
 future.
