Thanks.

Personally, I don't find the arguments for switching convincing.  Perhaps
moving to an extended JSON that supports comments and other niceties, but
moving to an entirely new format seems excessive.  The nice thing about
JSON is that it is commonly used everywhere, making dub easy to approach
and easy to write tooling for - even after a switch to SDL as the primary
format, I can see many folks and tooling continuing to use JSON.  Without
removal of JSON support you are stuck supporting two formats...

tl;dr I think it is a bad idea.
