Seriously? Said who? I always thought of pickles as the default way to store the results of long computations, for later (potentially MUCH later) use. Of course, it always is possible to say "install an old software version to unpickle the results" or "write a routine that allows to read the old pickle in a new software version", but as part of user-friendliness, I would recommend that SageMath-developers keep considering it as their duty to make unpickling backward-compatible, to a reasonable extent.
