Sorry to be late to get myself together with following up on these, but better late than never hopefully :) I see 01, 02 and 03 all part of the same discussion really. There seems little point in discussing YAML if we think moving to JSON is the better option. I'm with the strongly agree camp on the first part of above :) (and with the no new dialect on the second part) However, we don't want to suddenly make the whole of CPAN invalid. Thankfully as Parse::CPAN::Meta appears to support both, I think we have that covered. I'm happy to support JSON in core, but would rather we do it visiably rather than under the covers as per the M::B example David mentioned in an earlier post.

I'm with the strongly agree camp on the first part of above :) (and with the no new dialect on the second part) I've actually been thinking that for an upgrade path, it might be handy to have tools like M::B, EU::MM, and M::I generate a 1.4 META.yml and a 2.0 META.json. The spec should mandate that tools check the version and not process anything they don't understand. Right now, that isn't the case, I suspect.

I've tested the waters on p5p and I think it will be possible to move JSON to core once we code up the toolchain to mandate it. - David
