Hi,
As announced earlier today we need to get rid of all dependencies to org.json:json. In Oak only oak-remote in trunk and 1.4 is affected via a test dependency [1]. As I currently don't see any activity on oak-remote I would suggest to remove that module from the reactor, open an issue to add it back and block the latter on an issue to remove the JSON dependency. This would allow us to go forward with our release plan for the rest of Oak and pick up oak-remote at any time without forgetting the JSON dependency issue.
Please raise your concerns here otherwise I will go forward as proposed later this week.
