We don't generally take this kind of feature. Antenna status would need to
have some kind of standardized, device-independent vocabulary before we
would.

It has to be this way, otherwise the JSON would become a confusing
jumble of twisty vendor-specific features, all different. And
all imposing complexity costs on the client-side code, which is
already too much of a hairball.
