Also, if you find us addressing this issue being a hassle, e.g. addressing serialization in lucene is an incorrect thing to do, feel free to let us know and we can close the bug and terminate the thread.
I don't know whether cross-version serialization belongs in Lucene. We need to discuss it, to find out how many users might want it, how many developers might fear it, how reasonable their fears are, etc.
The discussion so far has not been an easy one. There have been many claims made which have little to do with the technical issue. As a project, we must reach consensus before we can do anything. Polarized comments do not help build consensus.
