Having written a bunch of tools that parse plaintext, it’s a pain in the rear. It’s far easier to have JSON and a schema for working with that JSON when developing tools to parse things out.

Programmers are inherently lazy — the more we have to make them work, the more pushback we’re going to get from them as far as integrating FreeBSD’s concerned.
