There's a JIRA issue about this from 5 years ago: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7296 I don't recall seeing any resistance to the idea of having the JSON Faceting module act as a back-end to the front-end (API surface) of Solr's common/classic/original/whatever faceting API. I don't think that simple API should go away; it's strength is simple/common cases that are comparatively verbose in the JSON one.
