OK, you get the picture. I'm all ears :-) And thanks in advance for any suggestions !
This is basically a variant of “should I store images in the database” but the content sizes involved are insanely high compared to most images. External storage, with a pointer in the DB, would seem like a much better choice.
Either way, though, not applying a minor release in over two years is just wrong; you should get on top of that before building new functionality on top of said database.
