After looking at the yajl-ruby source, looks like passing a Zlib::GzipReader won't actually work because I pass a 2nd argument (buffer to fill) to the read method and it doesn't support that signature :\

And yes I was planning on removing basically everything but Yajl::Parser and Yajl::Encoder from 2.0. I wanted to just drop in some more stuff into the examples/ to show how those things might be done without being officially supported by the gem anymore. Are you using any of that stuff currently?

Nope, not on this end. I'm sure it'll break a few downstream clients, but 'simple core' strategy makes sense to me.
