18023	Stop bundling simplejson and deprecate the module	Alex Ogier	Aymeric Augustin	"Consensus on the django-dev mailing list seemed to be to stop bundling simplejson, replace it with just a simplejson -> json fallback shim, and issue a PendingDeprecationWarning as of 1.5.

I had to leave the implementation of simplejson in `django/utils/simplejson/__init__.py` because though it makes much more sense to move to `django/utils/simplejson.py` like most other utils modules, doing so causes circular self-imports when we try to `import simplejson` from the system."
