That you'd have to ask the Servlet Spec Leads: https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=369
As of now, it seems Tomitribe has no EG Member there, but I'm sure you could discuss anything with them if you feel it is a burden or makes no sense;-)

point is while serialization itself is not specified you have no more
guarantee with Serializable. ATM you can serialize your bean
passivationId and keep your bean instance in memory (in a map). You
didnt serialize anything excepted a string!

So why forcing such a constraint if it is an implementation detail?
Serialization process is not explicit so then constraint doesnt
guarantee any portability
