Character limit for #__fields.fieldparams

[keep]

#__fields.fieldparams is a TEXT field in the database with a maximum length of 65,535 characters. When I use a List type field with options, Joomla! stores it as JSON, like this:

{"header":"","multiple":1,"options":{"options0":{"name":"My Option 1","value":"My Option 1},"options1":{"name":"My Option 2","value":"My Option 2"}}}

When I need a lot of options, especially if they are a bit longer, it can easily reach the character limit.

What do you think about using MEDIUMTEXT instead of TEXT?
