Just because complexity exists doesn't mean it has any negative impact
on us as users. A large spec is a concern if writing a parser, but we'd
be using an off the shelf parser so not a concern. Or if you're trying
to do obscure stuff that pushes the boundaries of what YAML can do in
terms of data representation, but QAPI schema needs are really trivial
so won't ever hit anything complex unless we actively went looking for
it. In all the times I've used YAML I can't say "complexity" has been
a word that ever came to mind, quite the opposite, it felt simple.
