Yes, serial support was pulled out of the Dachstein-small kernel, along with various advanced routing features to save space. The previous Materhorn and Eiger kernels had substantially more features enabled by default. Combined with UPX compression of the kernel, the Dachstein-small kernel used for the floppy distribution is 138,712 bytes *SMALLER* than the previous Eiger kernel (361,430 bytes vs 500,142 bytes). That's quite a substantial savings for a floppy distribution!
