Yes, those are great ideas. The thing is, nobody (myself included of course) has done anything about it for almost two years. Right now, binary and cereal are what they are. These are important packages that are popular dependencies. I observe empirically that their APIs are extremely stable. Unless there is new evidence that someone will work on them in the very near future and change the APIs significantly, I think they should go into the platform the way they are now. Or at least one of the two. I'd like to hear other opinions on that, though. Better yet - here's an easy chance for someone to step up, be a hero, and become famous. Thanks, Yitz
