Hi, Yes the format is aimed to please the YAML fans. So not for everyone and in the same way as with Perl, you can do great things, but also a huge mess. The ideal YaRD file is likely something you can read without, or with minimal, scrolling.
There is also the possibility of having a Guided Editor in the future. Maybe paired with support for JSON and this will make the file content more complicated. However the UI will give more control. For risking 10.0.0. Since this is a "leaf" in the tree, nothing depends on it yet. This means nothing upstream can break. This leaves a risk of the changes simply breaking the build. If this is seen as a risk then we would have to merge it after 10.0.0. The work on YaRD itself will continue. This is just an offering for the KIE Apache group. One of the benefits of having this in KIE is easier access to the Verification & Validation tooling that will be able to support both Drools and YaRD. Possibly other Rule formats as time goes by.
