Review Comment:
   I disagree with statements in Option 1. Option 1 is basically the current 
state of the PR and thus have all the problems listed in this thread. In Option 
1 one cannot mix migrated and non-migrated serializers, it simply does not work.
   
   TBH, when reviewing the FLIP, I thought option 2 is the suggested one, which 
was obviously my mistake. Because of the con you listed I was advocating for 
immediately dropping the old method instead of deprecating it (option 3).
   
   There was a strong preference for keeping compatibility with old user 
programs in the ML, thus I'd suggest to go with option 2. The con affects only 
newly written serializers, which is usually done carefully, so I am not worried 
it's gonna be too much of a hassle. We took that approach for much more 
commonly used interfaces such as e.g. `SinkFunction#invoke`
