As another data point, I can say with certainty that none of the following major SDKs use XML. Apache jclouds (Java) openstack.net (C#) pkgcloud (node.js) php-opencloud (PHP) Fog (Ruby) > So we really need the next layer on this to call it valid statistics. > Because 100% of users are using the JSON API (given that OpenStack > components talk between each other on JSON only).

That 30% number from user survey might not have a lot of detail behind it but we need to respect those users who are actually using it. Breaking client code is not a good developer experience.
