yml vs yaml

[mluckam]

I wanted to ask if there is a convention within this project on when to use the file extension '.yml' vs '.yaml'? Both file extensions appear regularly in the project with '.yml' being the preferred extension for the CRDGenerator, see code.

The yaml specification website states "Please use '.yaml' when possible", https://yaml.org/faq.html. If there is not already a convention in place would there be objection to updating the CRDGenerator to conform to the desire of the specification, '.yaml'?

I personally have no preference, they should both work interchangeably.
Maybe there's a reason why the short extension (yml) was chosen.

No particular reason apart from the fact that it was shorter, I guess? Changing the extension would be a breaking change, at this point, though, as downstream projects expect to find a .yml CRD. Obviously not a big deal but would probably require adaptation in downstream projects.
