Do they actually *use* the json-encoded thumbnails or do they just write them to the metadata.calibre file and then read that data back again so they can write it out again later?

Are there any circumstances where the code needs a thumbnail from there which it can't just get from Calibre's or the device's own thumbnail cache, rather than by serialising/deserialising a binary file from the enormous json file?
