If we were convinced that this had to change, it could be dealt with. Even if I were convinced that the original decision was not the optimal one, (which I'm not - though I could be), I would still have to be convinced that the situtuation were so non-optimal that it would be worth the trouble to address it.
On a regular basis, I get "complaints" that the archive contains "too much" superfluous information. Basically, I can't please everyone. I tried to make reasonable defaults and provide a mechanism for overriding these defaults. That's the best I can do.

Fair enough. I've no problem with the defaults being set one way or another, but perhaps it's a bit problematic to let compile-time properties of a program influence the runtime archive formats, to the point where they can even become unreadable. FWIW this bug was reported to me by users of RCF ( http://www.codeproject.com/ KB/threads/Rcf_Ipc_For_Cpp.aspx ), a C++ IPC framework that supports several serialization frameworks, one of them being Boost Serialization.
