Problem/Motivation
While getting drupal 8 ready, we need to have default config settings yml files, and we are making the saved active config files match in format so that a diff between them means that a change in configuration has actually happened. We dont want a diff to show a diff if the format is just different but the data is the same.
There is no coding standards for config yml yet.
Proposed resolution
Eventually make a standards doc page to put http://drupal.org/coding-standards
Remaining tasks
- Gather the conventions that are currently being used and document them.
- Discuss what the standard will be and link to related issues.
User interface changes
No UI changes.
API changes
No api changes.
