 > Regarding serialization, I consider this problematic for the above
 workaround, passing serialized or JSON-encoded strings to the API. Once we
 actually support proper objects and arrays, this will happen internally

 I don’t understand what you mean here though. Are you just saying we
 shouldn’t pass serialized data or json encoded data for meta values (over
 the REST API and  the `*_post_meta` functions). If so I think I agree.
