IMO config files should generally be managed as a template. If the files were 
YAML, I would still be managing them as a template. I went down the path of 
managing ini files with Ansible’s ini_file module, and it’s just not worth it.

Hi operators,  

I have a spec up to allow config files to be specified as YAML instead  
of INI: https://review.openstack.org/273468  

The main benefit from my perspective is being able to use YAML tooling  
to transform config (EG as part of an Ansible run). Crudini doesn't work  
well with MultiStrOpts.  


There's also a patch to allow logging config to be specified as YAML:  
https://review.openstack.org/259000  

The main benefit here is not having to declare your handlers, loggers  
and formatters before defining them. This has caught my team a couple of  
times when making logging changes.  


Are these features you are interested in or should I let them die?
