Well, the main argument is still future possibility of moving into 
single table for storage. And when we discussed about it in person we 
agreed that there is not too big advantage in having separate columns 
since there need to be dump/restore state interfaces anyway so you can 
see the relevant state via those as we made the output more human 
readable (and the psql support reflects that).
