Hmm. I cannot believe in the notion of "continuous improvement"; I'd guess that it is rather "continuous change". I can see three possible areas of improvment: 1. Bugs: if there are any, they should clearly be fixed. However, JSON is a simple format, so the implementation should be able to converge to something fairly correct quickly. 2. Performance: there is always room for performance improvements. However, I strongly recommend to not bother unless a severe bottleneck can be demonstrated. 3. API changes: people apparently want JSON to be more flexible wrt. Python types that are not directly supported in JSON. I'd rather take a conservative approach here, involving a lot of people before adding an API feature or even an incompatibility.
