You mention this often; I wonder if I misunderstand the critique, 
because the pain of a "flag day" for a new file format seems negligible 
to me.

I don't think we edit these .json files very often. Generally, we add a 
new command when we need one. The edits are usually one or two lines 
plus docstrings.

If anyone has patches in-flight, I genuinely doubt it will take more 
than a few minutes to rewrite for the new file format.

No?
