No objection if people feel strongly that way, but what's the advantage?
JSON cannot be streamed, at least not without some hacks, while a stream
of lines can easily be scanned in constant space.
If the goal is to make the format extensible, then we'll want to send
either an array of dictionaries or a JSONL stream, but I really cannot see
any advantage to switching to just an array of strings.
