this is a cool and interesting feature but it will serve to encourage
even more morons to avoid even basic/minimalist database normalisation
methods.

[snipped]

pg's support for JSON fields isn't a bad thing - overall, it's a good
thing...it will mitigate some of the problems - but it won't do anything
to educate web-dev morons about database design.

While having support for more languages within the server, is generally a good thing... I am generally in agreement that storing JSON directly to the database, is a bad thing -> as it will encourage developers to no bother to sanitize their inputs.
