I agree with the concept as described by David, but strongly disagree
with choosing JSON. I think we can and should do better than that.

Firmware design decisions centered around Golang are about as good as
firmware design decisions centered around Forth.

Let's not create another public interface in a rush, as we have with
NVRAM. Let's take the time to actually design something really well.

Maybe no NVRAM, but surely there will be persistent storage on board?
