Comment:

 Hopefully we can use [attachment:"47699-remove-json-polyfills-and-work-
 arounds.patch"], but I like the direction of [attachment:"47699-deprecate-
 JSON-polyfills.patch"] as a backup option.

 I've asked the VaultPress crew to see how many sites are running PHP 5.6+
 without the JSON extension (with breakdown by PHP version, if possible).
 Once we have some data, we'll hopefully have a better idea of which
 direction we can go.
