Serde is awesome and supporting serialization for the IpNetwork types is really really handy. But it does not have to be mandatory. With cargo features support it's easy to make it optional. This can cut down compile times.
Personally I would probably not have the feature activated by default. But changing that is a breaking change, so it would have to wait until 0.16 if it's something you think we should do at all.
