We've also made a feature of supporting XML, and a lot earlier, so that
argument seems pretty weak.
My only real requirement on the format choice is that it should absolutely
not require any Perl module that's not in a bog-standard installation.
I've gotten the buildfarm code running on several ancient machines now and
in most cases getting the module dependencies dealt with was pure hell.
No non-core modules for a basic build please. I don't care whether they
are "tiny".
