I agree. I should say I have never learned full YAML and how that relates
to ansible way of setting up the arguments. Everything I have picked up was
from different playbooks and examples from around the web. That's why it
would be great to have a generic use case document that ansible could point
to for conventions and why it is good to do it that way. I imagine a blog
post would suffice so I am looking forward to Jeff's post.

Hopefully I can re-work all my playbooks soon.
