How this is a PHP bug?

@seld Mandriva/Fedora/Debian have drop json non-free extension but provides
jsonc dropin alternative (php5-json 1.3.1 for debian).
So, your comment is not PHP related. See debian packager to have this package
installed when needed (pulled by main php package for Fedora).

What's the status here Remi? Can we have a regular Debian release including the
JSON ext before this hits testing/stable? We had a first issue on Composer
today because someone was missing the json ext [1], using Ubuntu 13.10.
If this isn't resolved soon Ubuntu's next release won't have json enabled by
default and we'll have a support shitstorm on our hands, so please don't do
Evil because of a dubious license statement. Given the prevalence of JSON APIs
and such these days, it's not just Composer that will be affected, so removing
it before having a replacement in place was really an unhelpful decision IMO.

Yes, I'm still working on the new alternative extension.

Remi: any update? Is <https://github.com/remicollet/pecl-json-c>
relevant?
I'll note that as a [MediaWiki][1] developer, I recently removed our
bundled copy of PEAR Services_JSON on the basis that the JSON extension
is compiled in by default, and therefore users can be expected to have
it installed. Unfortunately, I had to [revert the change][2] because
I only found out about the licensing problem last week, and our next
release is three weeks from now (2013-05-15).
So I would like to know whether you are still working on this.
