Today, `pkg info' produces human-readable output which almost looks like YAML. In order to make these tools easier to use in combination with scripting languages it would be great if `pkg' would emit YAML wherever possible. YAML is readable enough for humans. Alternatively, if this format is still deemed too unreadable, `pkg' could adopt a --yaml option to achieve the same effect.
