[Mono-dev] System.Json is ready to be replaced

[Alan]

Hey,

I wonder if we'd be better off deleting the actual code from our repository
and pulling it directly from the microsoft one via a git submodule. It
should be an easier way to keep things up to date and also simpler to
maintain patches/modifications (should any be required).
