Actually, it's the other way, JSON is a subset of YAML.
I was in fact prepared to commit this patch, despite some significant
misgivings about its wisdom, mainly because it does have such a low
impact. But then other people raised objections. I'm not sure how strong
those objections are, though.
I must say that while the YAML output might look a bit nicer than the
JSON output, the difference strikes me as mostly marginal. But I guess
it's like beauty and obscenity, something in the eye of the beholder. De
gustibus non est disputandum.
