It does seem strange that XML (and of course PHP) support the constant functionality, but YAML does not.
But, I don't feel too strongly either way, since you can easily include on parameters.xml or parameters.php file from your config.yml file and take care of everything in there. So, it would help a little bit, but it's not quite solving a problem.
