You mention this often; I wonder if I misunderstand the critique, because the pain of a "flag day" for a new file format seems negligible to me.
I don't think we edit these .json files very often. Generally, we add a new command when we need one. The edits are usually one or two lines plus docstrings.
If anyone has patches in-flight, I genuinely doubt it will take more than a few minutes to rewrite for the new file format.
No?
