It's more than one property here and many patch submitters are using
this reason as well. In an effect few bindings TXT grew from 5 to 10
properties in one year and still no conversion to YAML.

I understand your concerns however I have stronger motivation to do the
conversion is stronger for me, than for accepting new features.
