Resolves #3466.

Supporting a JSON file format would be problematic:

  • Env var substitution syntax is hard
  • JSON doesn't allow comments
  • We couldn't mandate JSON support across languages so supporting would be bad from an interoperability standpoint

Also, nobody has expressed interested in a JSON file format. Removing the TODO as it makes it seem imminent / likely which is not the case. This doesn't close the door on a JSON file format - just removes clutter.
