Mark Miller commented on LUCENE-1473:
-------------------------------------
bq. Lucene supports serialization explicitly by implementing Serializable.
Right, but we don't *really* support it (like many/most I would guess). There
is a pain in the butt cost of support. Since this patch seems to push that pain
around, I'm just wondering if the motivation for it is worth the cost (not
knowing the motivation).
