The idea behind key=value is it makes it nice to put everything all on one
line.
yum: name=foo state=installed
Which leads to more concise playbooks than the short-form YAML style
yum: { name: 'foo', state: 'installed' }
And is easier to type and skim.
We don't care which way you do things, though if you are going to put
things on seperate lines and use the long form, it makes sense to use the
YAML data structure.
We'll continue to use the short form for most everything until lines get
long, or complicated structured data needs to be passed (like the cloud
modules).
