Hi, I'd like to present a new RFC for your consideration. You can find it at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/DataStore Briefly, it proposes a new key-value storage for MediaWiki intended to get rid of some small tables and create a bridge to NoSQL (where it really makes sense, not where it's trendy).
I looked briefly at this a couple weeks ago and broadly think "yes! this would be handy for lots of things that it's a pain in the ass to make a single-use tiny table for". Will add notes in a bit. :)

Essentially a permanent bag-of-stuff?
