It can be used for playing with data OR it can be refined and
delivered as a complete backend for the client to use to manage the
site.

Depends on your site right? If you're building a wiki, it might be
useful but generally its used for people managing the site rather than
end users.

The generator YAML file is used to customize how the admin is built.

setting up your validation in YAML files, etc etc.

The new system creates and validates forms programmatically and is
