I would prefer the NID be something other than 'dns'. As it stands
it suggests that it in some way related to DNS when it really isn't
except for the firs section. But 'pkg' doesn't seem right either since
that suggests Java packages instead of what YAML wants to do with 'em.
Got any other suggestions?
