Okay, that's what I originally had. I'm sure someone will want to
document 'how to install yamllint' somewhere. Maybe I'll say:

warning: python package 'yamllint' not installed, skipping

To give some hint how to install.

I'm not sure exactly, but there is a minimum version of yamllint so it
is possible the distro versions are too old. IIRC, unknown config
settings throw an error. I think at the time I did the config everything
had been around for at least a year or 2 and I don't think anyone has
reported issues.
