We should remove Serializable from anywhere it won't break compatibility. I can't imagine why anyone would be expecting that interface unless they are performing serialization, which we want to prevent.

For example, if a user has implement a custom Message that extends Serializable. The fact that we no longer extend Serializable shouldn't cause a problem so long as there is no code expecting it.
