But be prepared for the next generalization (and levels of  
incompatibility)
when I get around to using YAML instead of the /etc/rpm/sysinfo file  
(originally)
or directory tree (currently).

What I'd like to see is a seamless representation where the YAML  
hierarchy
or the directory hierarchy can be used interchangeably for carrying  
around
wads of metadata organized in a hierarchical fashion.
