I usually think of yaml for internal config files, would never think of yaml for user data.

Don't ask me why though, might have something to do with how it's written like a python file, no user would want to write their data in yaml format.

Probably, OP didn't keep user data in YAML, but I think there was config that kept allowed countries to sign up.
