Description
For example, the `metadata.tools` as an array was deprecated in 1.5 and replaced by an object structure where you can define a list of `components` and `services`.
The issue is that the new structure is not supported by the `cyclonedx-python-lib`, neither for serialization (output) nor deserialization (input).
It can be in the way of loading a SBOM that is valid regarding the spec, but fails the deserialization.
