+\r
+I think we need to at least deprecate the format for a release or so, as\r
+there are definitely people using it in the wild.  As far as I know the\r
+at least the Vim interface uses it (what about notmuch-mutt?), in\r
+addition to whatever homebrewed scripts might use it. Since\r
+scriptability is one of the "notmuch core values", I guess we should\r
+also provide something more script friendly than json. As you say, it\r
+doesn't have to be exactly like what we have now.\r
