Anchors are fairly limited:

- they are bound to a single file. This won’t help you when trying to maintain multiple similar sets of Config

- anchors do not support patching. If you need to change a nested key, you can’t do so without it affecting all other nested keys as well

Anchors also don't work with a list of elements.

For instance, if we want to share steps in a YAML based CI config we can't if they are a list.
