Excuse me, I don't quite understand what you're concerned about. The break would occur if you use PHP 6 serialized content in PHP 5, not vice versa. I already said that having the same escape format in PHP 5.2 is not tractable for BC reasons and the support, as such, must be left to PHP_Compat.

You want to break all the strings which were stored serialized in the 5.x-series? I can understand that it will break in php6 but not in some minor release. It will cause havoc with a lot of apps which can't read their cached- / meta-data anymore. Also the performance drawback will get you a lot of angry users. Wasn't that just some versions before when the serialization has gotten a lot slower and created lots of problems?
