You seem upset that we're ditching YAML. Don't be. The defaults are

Some programmers will find yaml better and easier for them in
configuring their app. However, almost everyone else will find yaml
obscure and difficult (especially non-programmers, configuring your
app). Anyway, the straw that broke the camels back was that I
realised this morning that it is not possible to put correct YAML in
POD. I was feeling motivated, so I took action.
