Was the linting rules applied via templates or is this something that
can be done programatically via pyyaml/ruamel.yaml or some other
library?  I know for the puppet release files I was using ruamel.yaml
to match up with what was being generated but this new formatting
seems to diverge from what it generates.   The last time I went
looking the tooling provided seemed to be using templates which didn't
match anything if you were trying to manage the files via normal yaml
objects which was kinda the problem.

Thanks,
