Maybe a better solution in that case is to invent a "magic" serialVersionUID number that means "not-really-serializable" and tag all classes that are not guaranteed to serialize between different implementations/versions this way? It will be a bit more work then just excluding whole packages of course. But at least it is more accurate and can be used also in other situations.
