True, but what about reading data from five years ago? �

Well, can you load your 5-year-old code out of the box?� No. You will probably need to update its code. The same here.
You can always take the same Fuel version and updated (without changing the format) to work in a new Pharo image. Just as you do with your own code.
As an example, the last stable version 1.6 of Fuel works if Pharo 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4. I think it is good enough.

Ahhh and if you are so worried about that, then use a proper database strategy than a simple/plain object serializer.

I have ten year old Dolphin STB that I can still load.

I concur with Mariano.
In production images, you want probably stick with concrete
verision(s) of frameworks you using and don't
follow the bleeding edge. Because if you do, then you spending time on
coping up with latest and greatest
versions of these frameworks instead of spending time on developing
your project :)
