AFAIK, the code contributed (json.el) isn't a json "mode" at all, but
rather code to read/write json-formatted data.

If we add a mode for _editing_ json later (json-mode.el or something),
of course, that could go under progmodes/, but I don't think it's
appropriate for json.el.

I'd just put in the lisp root, along with xml.el etc.
