Yeah, I think starting with --debug=json (or --debug-json) until we
see some stability in the output and got comfortable to the idea of
"version X" to mean what we output at that point, and then renaming
it to "--json" with "version: 1" in the output stream so that third
party can use it (and interpret it according to version 1 rules) is
the way to go.  Third-party tools are welcome to read --debug-json
output as an early-adoption practice waiting for the real thing, but
we do not want to be locked into a schema too eary before we are
ready.

Thanks.
