I'm +0 on this. The new source resolver from Avalon I started to integrate
is available via the ComponentManager, so if a serializer is Composable
it can use the source resolver then.

on this :) )

Yes, I know - I thought that it would be enough to call the setSerializer
method twice then.

+1 for merging
+1 for configurable pipelines
