Yes.

There are some utility functions that use this information to identify
objects that refer to a particular object.  Those are useful sometimes
but not critical to normal Durus operation.  Also, it is possible,
though
somewhat slow, to write a function to obtain this information directly
from the pickled state.

I think it would be safe to drop it, if you don't need to worry too much
about packing out "lost" instances.
