It's not super important, but would the marker interface be a

Clusterable extends Serializable? Why the coupling?
Finally, (and please excuse my ignorance of annotations), is it
feasible to introduce an annotation without adding any compile
time dependencies?
Using regular annotations no.
Using backport175 yes :-)
Hmm. I thought that backport175 still require to have regular
interface classes, so you can create dynamic proxy for accessing
the annotation data.
True, you need these interfaces when you want to access read the
annotations. But you can easily compile the annotated classes without
any deps (annotation interfaces). Which was the question Tim asked.
