No matter how you decide to handle the transition, there will be incompatibilities when transitioning between different data models. Relying on a pickle is no different than relying on a JSON tree, an AMP box or anything else. Mapping the natural 2.x string type to the natural 3.x string type was a reasonable decision in that context.
