Without noticing it, we had a task definition with payload being defined twice. Unfortunately, this took us a very long time to be noticed. IMHO we should prevent this by failing when generating the task graph. [1] https://bug1244720.bmoattachments.org/attachment.cgi?id=8714375
I think this is an inherent flaw in YAML syntax.

..or in the YAML parser. Using less YAML will help, but beyond that I don't think there's much we can do. I don't see anything useful on the PyYAML documentation page.

can we not parse the yaml with a different tool? Is yaml the best format for these files?
