JSON sounds like a swell idea.
Keeping the code to import the old format for a while would be
appreciated. The code to generate the old format can be removed, I
think (if it makes sense, I haven't looked at the code.)
I second this.
I don't know any tools for dlist, but json is supported in many languages
and there are cli-tools.
Importing the old format might be useful for migrating
old installations, or importing backups from old versions.
IMHO dumping in the old format is not needed.
There is less need to downgrade to an older version in the first place,
and even if an Admin needs the old dump format, it should be easy to convert
the json output to the old format.
Kind regards
