* The configuration cache serialization infrastructure should be used for all serialization.
* Existing usages of Serializer outside of this infrastructure should be migrated to use it.
* Existing usages of Java serialization should be migrated to use it.
* It is ok for Serializer to be used as a replacement for Java serialization as a migration step.

Organize the Gradle code base into a set of coarse-grained "architecture modules".
An architecture module is responsible for providing a coherent set of features and:

- Provides a set of APIs and services for use from outside the module.
- Has a private implementation.
- Is owned by a single team. A team may own multiple architecture modules.

The modules are arranged into several different "Gradle platforms".
