What? I love having 20 ambiguous ways to express the same data with weird and unexpected conversion rules. JSON is so much worse - if data types are explicit and obvious, how can I properly express my feelings when writing a config file?

{"foo":true,"bar":{"baz":1}} is valid YAML; better throw it out.

I have no issues with using a strict and unambiguous subset of YAML :)
