Description
The current (and previous) behavior of ObjectInputStream is to not require
matching serialVersionUIDs between the incoming class descriptor and local
resolved class in certain circumstances.  The serialization spec should be
updated to enumerate the cases in which serialVersionUIDs are not checked.
