 > Examples from my recent projects:
 > * `Color` taxonomy attached to `paintings` CPT
 > * `Product` taxonomy attached to `outpost` CPT
 >
 > In both cases I needed filtering based on metafields and taxes, and in
 both cases I ended up with custom schemed data in comment, and I'm sure
 that comment field wasn't intended for data.
 >
 > Name, title and description is enough if you're seeing WordPress only as
 blogging CMS, but I've done on top of it blogs, large companies sites,
 shops, two social apps, and two dedicated CRMs. I love flexibility and
 scalability of WP with CPT, but taxonomies in row with user management are
 last two things wasn't that flexible like the rest, it hurts sometimes...
 >
 > > It's not a big deal to add term meta by a plugin like
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-term-meta/ if someone absolutely needs
 it.
 >
 > That isn't long-term solution because of interoperability and few more
 things.
