I stopped working on JSON this to see where the idea of reimplementing

Yeah but it's a new backend, it's supposed to not touch anything in the
core and to not break other backends.

Agreed, v1.3 is too young for OMPI. I am not sure many people already
tried v1.3rc1. I wouldn't put it in OMPI before hwloc 1.3.1.
