As Sonke had pointed out in the other thread, there was a long 
process before SDL was adopted and the community was kept 
informed of it all through. I think everybody in this community 
had plenty of time and enough number of opportunities to object 
to SDL if they had any issues with it. See 
http://forum.dlang.org/post/n36gvd$1lia$1@digitalmars.com

It's unfair to criticise SDL at this point after it's been 
implemented when there was ample opportunity to object earlier. 
It's not a Douglas Adamsesque "notes were kept in a basement and 
accessible only after flipping a dice" scenario - in this case, 
requests for comments were posted in this very forum, on GitHub 
and elsewhere.

Given that JSON is always going to be supported, just use JSON if 
you are so uncomfortable with SDL.
