Nah. Yaml is a total mess with far too many special cases (time handling, many different ways to write booleans). I think it doesn't have any kind of formal spec? It makes sense where you want to optimize for human editing in the short term, but it is by no means a format for the long term.

The spec is here, https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html

> by no means a format for the long term.

I would take that bet :)
