Taxonomy Meta without adding or modifying tables

I finally put my code for taxonomy meta on github. Many of our clients have hosts that discourage or don’t allow modifying tables. This code implements the same API as your taxonomy-metadata plugin without new tables.

Admittedly, adding tables does perform faster when it is an option. So I think both methods have a lot of merit and should be kept around. I am trying now to decide the best alternative for adding my code to the wordpress.org repo and wanted to get your thoughts.

I think it would be neat if we could combine the two plugins and add tables if we can. Otherwise we can go the tableless route. We could also offer an option to go tableless to pick up the UI that comes with using cpts.

If I add this as a separate plugin I just make it more difficult for people to find the right solution. On the other hand that keeps both plugins light. And I can always mention in the readme that if you have the option to create tables and don’t need the UI, there is a faster plugin.

Thoughts?
