Note that GeoJSON through WFS is probably the route to go, just add it
as an output format to the WFS. WFS is a protocol, and GeoJSON isn't an
alternative to WFS it's an alternative to GML, the default payload in a
WFS, but not the only one.
FeatureServer does have an alternate, REST based protocol for getting
and saving features, but it's not a standard spec (though I hope that
someday we could get a nice REST feature service standard, that would
obviously look a lot like featureserver)

Has there been any thoughts or interest on supporting GeoJSON?
This has significantly less overhead than WFS when working with web
clients like openLayers.

Isn't Tim or someone else working on GeoJSON to give an alternative to
WFS that does not have the XML parsing and overhead? I would think that
this might be a good alternative. If this is really happening, then we
might want to ping the mapserver list about support GeoJSON in the 5.0
release.

I think we're close to an agreed upon specification for GeoJSON.
http://wiki.geojson.org/GeoJSON_1.0_RC_1
You can take a look at WKT/GML/GeoJSON side by side (sort of) in this demo
http://dev.openlayers.org/sandbox/tschaub/xml/examples/vector-formats.html
FeatureServer will deal in GeoJSON. I'm guessing GeoServer will as
well. It would be cool to get MapServer in on it.
