Yeah, what Eric describes is the reason.  And then (guix scripts
refresh) has this ‘maybe-updater’ macro that checks whether a given
import depends on a missing optional dependency.

Given that JSON is used a lot, we might eventually make Guile-JSON a
mandatory dependency.  We could also push David Thompson to update the
(ice-9 json) module and have it in Guile proper.  :-)
