Hi, Josh here. Just wanted to follow up on the thread as Simen and I have
been discussing over email. I'm really looking forward to seeing Simen's new
json-mode included in GNU Emacs and I'm very happy for it to use the
"json-mode" name.

We've also discussed a strategy to ensure that users of the old json-mode
can opt in to the new version as they choose (simply by uninstalling the old
package).
