--- Comment #1 from Julian Maurice <julian.maurice at biblibre.com> ---
+1 for moving Koha config out of zebra config file
+1 for not using XML

But -1 for using YAML. I know we already use YAML for everything in Koha, but
YAML has a lot of disadvantages (for instance
https://www.arp242.net/yaml-config.html, or
https://hitchdev.com/strictyaml/why/implicit-typing-removed/)
One concrete problem we had in Koha recently was that some MARC field tags
starting with 0 were parsed as octal numbers. (040 becomes 32 but 099 remains
99)
I think that this bug might be a good opportunity to consider alternatives
(HJSON, JSON5, TOML, ...)
