Excise use of importJSON
Putting information in external JSON files is IMHO not an improvement over the idiomatic style of Nix expressions. The use of JSON doesn't add anything over Nix expressions (in fact it removes expressive power). And scattering package info over lots of little files makes packages less readable over having the info in one file.
