Ha!
Good question.

The GenericServlet abstract class does indeed implement Serializable.
I would hazard a guess and say to allow for servlets to be serialized by the web server. Perhaps one day we will see web servers clustered and spread across multiple JVMs and the servlets can then migrate between JVMs?
