I'd rather see them add a proper solution for data heavy addons to efficiently store and access their data. The current Saved Variables format was never intended to contain megabytes of anything as can be seen on the load times.
Adding a way to store raw data could already help in some cases, as it would remove the need to run everything through the Lua interpreter on load. Even better would be a database interface that allows to only fetch the data that is needed when it is used.
