PHP JSON removed in PHP 5.5

I don't think the title is correct: JSON being pulled is not mentioned in http://php.net/manual/en/migration55.changes.php

It is probably the case that in common Linux distributions, the build of PHP has the relevant functionality removed, as the license does obviously conflict.

It's a shame that only IBM gets dispensation to do evil :(

Thanks, that cleared things up quite a bit. It seems that it is isolated to Debian unstable. Even that problem should be resolved soon through an alternative JSON extension.
