The situation is asymmetrical because there are many thousands of user-defined types, but only a handful of serialization frameworks. In principle. In practice, taking a dependency on Boost.Serialization isn't desirable because it brings in half of Boost. Ideally, one ought to have been able to provide serialization support without including anything from Serialization, but I've been singing this song for more than ten years now and nobody's listening.
