As I understand it, the current one is not considered to be up to snuff and that 
there is no maintainer for it, so the intention is to replace it with a new one. 
However, there is not currently any replacement for it, and I believe that the 
Phobos devs are busy with other stuff. So, what likely needs to happen is that 
someone needs to decide to champion std.json and write a new version of it for 
possible inclusion in Phobos. As it stands, I believe that the Phobos devs are 
just too busy with other things, so it's sitting in the TODO list without any 
real plan.
