Personally, I see no value in the ability to load a list of results 
files.  Specifying them on the command line works just fine.  I had 
assumed it was a newline or space separated list, but apparently it's 
something more complicated.  I don't even know the syntax, and I've been 
using Piglit for years...

Does anybody even use that feature?

I also don't understand the need to rename the columns when specifying 
the result files.  If I want to rename a result (usually because I 
typo'd when doing piglit-run), I just edit the file and change the name...

I'm not a fan of making this a fancy json syntax unless there's a real 
compelling use case.
