conda has been using yaml forever (with pyyaml) , and whatever problem is
has (and there are many), I don't think I've ever seen a single issue cause
by yaml or pyyaml. Might be worth asking the conda devs.

I think we're freaking out way too much about what *could* go wrong.

Oh, and why not "JSON with comments and trailing commas" - it would be well
defined and easy to implement.
