As an implementor, I would prefer to just pick up a big JSON object rather than
having to stitch together something from YAML and a bunch of parallel files.
It's simpler; my library support would only have to consist of a JSON read
and - bang! - instant Python structure. I like that kind of simple.
Can we discuss how to enrich the existing JSON? I realize there is an issue
about templated licenses, but that should be solved anyway and I can think
of simple ways to do it.
