Hi <person hiding behind a project>, Backwards compatibility is one hurdle, but if you wipe all your serialised data then begin to re-serialise using the new approach then you're fine.
As for what to use msgpack or igbinary, well there's already good support for igbinary in PHP thanks to Pierre and others. You should benchmark igbinary vs msgpack and come back with your findings if we're to evaluate alternative serialization libraries.
