Neat! Certainly more readable than the massive xml file! Thanks for the hard work!

E: The code generating the qemu commands is also quite readable, so I think migrating my install will be quite doable + If needs be i can add args manually.

Ya exactly! Compatibility with QEMU commands right inside the yaml was a great addition by my co-author. I wrote an earlier version that lacked that functionality and I have to say the new version with that feature has proven really handy.

I wish all programs would consider YAML config files. Imagine being able to configure Chromium, Firefox, Thunderbird, Windows.. would make automation such a breeze. Chromium and Firefox has policy files but they are all JSON. I'm not even going to talk about the disaster of Windows automation.
