Even if it's not perfect and things are missing from the serialization, how is that a reason to kill it instead of fixing it? All serializations use arrays as an intermediate format. Just pass this to PHP's `serialize()` and be done. Why drop it? Random example: in the context of T128486: [Story] Purge Special:EntityData JSON after edit <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128486>, supporting this absurd output format means there are two additional URLs we need to purge on each edit. (Unless Varnish already normalizes .php and ?format=php into one URL, or something, then it’s one URL.)
