I think you're right that we should identify the stakeholders here. Which clients consume PyPI JSON?
@dstufft Is there a User Agent report for the PyPI and the warehouse legacy JSON views? ... https://code.activestate.com/lists/python-distutils-sig/25457/ Are there still pending metadata PEPs that would also need to be JSONLD-ified?
