This issue has anyway, I think, been exhausted. We have two different, opposed views; neither camp is likely to change its position; moreover, there does not appear to be a substantive issue dividing us. Both camps are aware that the absence of serialization can have disagreeable consequences.
The question whether these disagreeable consequences are tolerable is a judgment call. Sam and others think they are. I think not. So be it.
