Trying to understand which problem you're trying to solve here.
Is there any major distribution which doesn't have jq in its repos? Or any
reason why you wouldn't install it?
I think it's just a matter of trying to avoid too many dependencies,
especially for something this trivial
Yes ... actually, a while ago, I noticed that I was never running this test
on fresh installations since "jq" is not there by default. I guess it's the
same for many other people, too, since we don't really tell them to install
"jq" first.
So let's give this patch a try for a while, and if we run into problems, we
can still revert it.
