Sean Owen commented on MAHOUT-510:
----------------------------------

So, I'm starting to take a crack at this. I've identified about 1/3 of all the 
JSON code so far that is not apparently used (except for code testing it), 
removed it, and everything seems OK. Before I keep going -- are people still 
keen on this goal? we had some small assent in an earlier thread.

That is to say, if JSON disappears, can anyone think of a real problem it 
causes?
