IMHO, any change from Warning or lower to Exception or Error is a clear Breaking Change, because it can make a program that runs successfully under one version abort mid-process in another. So, while it probably makes sense for all serialisation errors to consistently throw, that should be planned for 9.0, and everything that's not already an exception could raise a consistently formatted E_WARNING in 8.3.
