Deriving from prog-mode or from text-mode doesn't mean much in practice.
I see it as less of a formal taxonomy of programming languages, and more
of a convenience measure to make changes that (vaguely speaking) "all
programming modes" or "all text-related modes" have in common. E.g. I
have this in my init.el:
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook #'flyspell-mode)
(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook #'flyspell-prog-mode)
and I asked myself would I prefer yaml-mode to use the former or the
latter mode, I'd say that `flyspell-prog-mode' were a better fit.
Of course if neither makes sense or it is too inconsistent, there is no
reason YAML modes would have to inherit from either.
