Hi All,

In my project at work, we want to use create-layers-setup instead of git 
submodules. But, there is one issue that we are facing right now: We have got a 
CI pipeline that has Renovate bots to update, and create pull requests for 
repositories when a new commit is made in one of the dependencies. For it to 
work with Yocto layers, renovate bots require a regular expression in the Json 
file before ref key that create-layers-setup creates. But the problem is since 
Json doesn't support comments, and it is not sorted, it creates so much manual 
work. It is also so ugly if we add a dummy key to the json.

For that reason, would it be possible to support Yaml as an option? I know that 
Yaml is not part of Python standard library but it can be optional if pyyaml is 
installed in the system like here ( 
https://github.com/yoctoproject/poky/blob/e13a057812ec639544c321db0aedf9c7c203953e/documentation/sphinx/yocto-vars.py
 ). Either creating both json, and yaml file; or creating one of them that user 
chooses.

Regards,
Talha
