Applied.

But I want to object to the garbage that is 'yaml' and 'invisible
whitespace has semantics'.

Maybe we can have a "kernel yaml" that just turns tabs into spaces
with 'expand -t 8' and make the rule be that kernel yaml files don't
have to participate in the mindless garbage that is "yaml by the
specs".

Yes, I know it matters for 'make'. That was a mistake too. But at
least we could *fix* the braindamage that is yaml, and we already have
a defined tab width for the kernel anyway.
