I would expect that the serialization library is used for possibly long-term archives and so stability would be super important.

If so, it should not be deprecated, which might suggest that whatever it depends should not be either. Perhaps this needs more > thought?

Sorry for the delay. This is the case in our production code. We heavily

use Boost.Serialization and since back 2004. We have hundreds of systems in use by our customers. So, this library must be considered with a lot of attention.

I agree that serialization is an extremely useful library. I use it in almost all of my projects, and for example YADE software, which I co-founded 20 years ago, is very widely used by the universities around the world. Removing serialization library would be a very major blow. best regards Janek Kozicki -- Janek Kozicki, PhD. DSc. Arch. Assoc.
