Worse, M::B::YAML in core is an ancient adaptation of YAML.pm. In the M::B repo, it's a now a rebadged YAML::Tiny minus some function exports. So we're wedging all of YAML::Tiny into core anyway, but not pretending core really won't have YAML.

I hope that if this process for Meta 2.0, with the working group and broader input we have, resolve that the CPAN Meta spec needs JSON.pm in core, then we stand a much better chance of making that happen. (And if not, we'll hide JSON.pm the same way we did YAML::Tiny.) -- David
