[ Copying in Randy, yaml-ts-mode's author/maintainer. ]
FWIW, my vote is for treating YAML and JSON consistently: if all three
JSON modes in Emacs and GNU ELPA are prog-modes, then so should
yaml-ts-mode; or if yaml-ts-mode is a text-mode, then so should all
three JSON modes.
I suspect most of that ship if not the entire thing has already sailed,
especially in the case of the more established json-mode, but there's
always hope ;).
Thanks,
