It would probably take at most a few hours to rewrite a JSON encoder and decoder. It's hardly a complex piece of code is it.

The link is 404 so In layman terms, unless some other extension comes up with exact same function names, my json_encode/json_decode will stop working in 5.5? fuck.

Only with the version included in the Debian repositories.

Not to mention the hundreds of third party json PHP classes.
