I'm not sure if there is some argument for keeping the serialVersionUID in case the class becomes Serializable again later, but it looks like a bug to me.

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a non-serializable class with a private field serialVersionUID
Expected: The field is not used anywhere, so a warning should be shown.
Actual: No warning is shown because of the field's name.
