No. Installing cjson is enough, because the actual feature writing is
done by the vectorformats.Format.GeoJSON, which imports from cjson and
falls back to simplejson. You still need to have simpleson installed fo
the metadata writing, but it won't actually use it for any of the
aspects of it that require performance.

They already don't have to do this.
