<p>Obsolete prevents a property from being serialiazed, why did MS do that? Obsolete doesn't necessarily mean I don't need it anymore.  For example, I mark a property as obsolete because I need to tell other programmers to not use it, but still I need it to be serialized.</p>

<p>Is there a way out?</p>
