-1 on declaring things Serializable, especially if this is done everywhere. Unless there is extensive testing and careful implementation, it is very, very misleading to advertise this capability. In addition, there are a number of formats which are reasonable candidates. Casting a particular format in stone as the one true serialized format seems like a big mistake.
If you need to implement a serializable object, it is much better to mark the field as transient and pick the wire format you really want to use from a selection of alternatives.
