I'm always frustrated when we're using unsupported dependencies. gopkg.in/yaml.v3 is exactly that, see https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml which is archived now. Consider 7106c858f2 as well, this change (while proper for yaml.v3) requires all package users to have a dependency on gopkg.in/yaml.v3 as well (compare that to UmarshalJSON() using standard types).

Describe the solution you'd like

Replace it with something maintained and something that has a better API.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Things work as is, but it can be a problem long-term.

There is https://pkg.go.dev/go.yaml.in/yaml/v4 which is a supported fork, but it has the same interface problems. Looks like the only real alternative is https://github.com/goccy/go-yaml (which is used by etcd).
