Just add a check on what format is used on read, write with the new format. Deprecate the old format in next version after 5.4 (or drop it at all in 6.0 or whatever the new major version will be). Make a noise about the change (I can do that for the Russian speaking community with ease). It will be transparent. People using serialized caches can just drop them and re-init. People storing data can recode it with ease - just read it and write it back - it will be in new format. Problem solved :)
