Yes, my statement was too strong. JSON is nice in different ways, e.g. 
it faciliates storing nested data which leads to a neater input files in 
some cases I've been using.

The reason I suggested contrib is that I was proposing to add JSON as an 
input format for the reduced basis code that's in libMesh. (This would 
mean I could use JSON throughout my app codes, rather than half JSON 
half getpot)

caught up. So what steps can you take to put your SQL databases under 
version control? Why should you start doing it? Read more to find out.
