The prior reluctance/apprehension was about this move somehow diluting the canonicalism of ODS:

Which does not make sense for upstream to dictate - if someone somewhere (downstream) decides to implement a "custom backend" for ODS, I don't see how that affects *upstream* backends in the slightest. In addition there's no current barrier today to this anyway because one can simply use the JSON backend and generate therefrom. This change simply enables users to take a slightly more sane approach.
