It depends. The problem is ultimately that folks use Storable for many things. Sometimes it is native interop, but sometimes it is for serializing out to a known binary file format, etc. In the absence of these extra instances we do not have to choose its "real" role. If we added them then we'd start committing to one of those scenarios.
The Storable class is part of the FFI and thus I think we must comply to the system ABI.
