I like YAML as a config format. Switching to another not so human
readable format because we don't have a simple & working YAML-Module
in CPAN at the moment doesn't sound like a very good idea to me. Also
it would break with backward compatibility.
For the moment, we just could fork a new YAML Module from YAML 0.39
and use that till we see a better solution?
