Copied from Dregond's other issue:

I think a JOIN on metadata saves a query. The reason it was separate was to stop conflicts in the column name i think, but most of the fields shouldn't have a duplicate in the metadata to begin with. The developer could just for example instead of 'email' in the metadata they could use 'contact_email' to stop any conflict.
