A taxonomy term metadata table would be an absolutely huge improvement for all WordPress installations, and could be used in core later as taxonomy-terms become increasingly descriptive. (Then, best case scenario, terms are so hugely descriptive we migrate them into post-type 'taxonomy` with a subtypecolumn added to the posts table. /tangent)3 The Posts-to-Posts plugin is pure genius and I find it incredibly useful, but it's ambitious for WordPress core adoption when nothing in the Posts/Pages/Categories/Tags/Menus/Users objects needs it.
