Ohh thanks for finding this old posting. :)
Until last days I was thinking about if it may makes sense to
retrigger this question.
Since Hadoop is focused to provide a basic for more 'users' than
nutch, this may makes more sense than ever before.
However this would be a big step for hadoop and nutch since many
things are very much coupled with this mechanism e.g. nutch rcp.
However the change wouldn't be difficult just a lot of typing work.
Well my voice isn't that powerful, but here is my vote: +1. :-)

With the move to Hadoop, is moving from Writable to Externalizable
being considered? (I'm of the same mind as Stefan's sentiment below.)

What do others think?
I think, RMI isn't a good idea. I waste a lot of time with it. I
like the nutch rpc very much.
However I think usage of Externalizable is a good idea, first it is a
very small change.
Second many users use nutch for very custom things and usage of
Externalizable make customization more easily.
For example using caching frameworks, (what in some case makes a lot
of sense), post or pre processing data, experimental data storages
etc.
For sure such a change is low priority but I would love to see it.
