 > And you would end up with nice fulltext search every time you wanna
 query items by color or product, nice. And with ~ 1 million extra rows in
 postmeta table (~20 products in each outpost), all with longtext, just for
 storing relations between posts...

 Okay granted, that's not the best solution either. In that case I would
 rather have a `post_relationships` table being introduced, but that's
 probably a little too much off-topic here.

 Isn't that just for the ability to manually add custom fields? It
 basically is post meta, but you can always use the underlying CRUD
 functions for post meta even if that support is not enabled.
