That tracks. The component I, personally, might want JSON available internally for is an artifact resolution API [1]. Gradle's module metadata is out there in the world and could be worth consuming [2]. That's neither here nor there though.
I'd say that the JEP as written could use some rework even before its "time has come". * Goals like "useful subset for Java ME" don't feel relevant anymore. * Unstated goals that seem implicit in how folks have talked about potential APIs, like "improve over JSR-353" or "obviate ecosystem desire for JAXB type data binding" * "Goals" that seem derived more from the properties of whatever prototype implementation the JEP had than a core "user story". A split token/event/immutable tree API is just one possible solution to problems like big documents and letting power users avoid allocations.
