Netplan is using libyaml in the background to handle the YAML data, which only supports YAML v1.1 at this time. Furthermore, Netplan needs to stay backwards compatible with the "yes/"no" booleans and we cannot easily break the existing schema.

I've updated our documentation to mention this:
https://netplan.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference.html
https://github.com/canonical/netplan/commit/db043801d0d7838d84cb7d0e4e07b6088e2d5771

And I will update this bug report to be a feature request for YAML v1.2 spec support.
