Pub itself depends on this library. Without it, pub won't be able to parse the YAML file which references it. So, it really needs to be in the standard lib.

That's not strictly true. You're right that there's a bootstrap problem: pub needs to use it and it obviously can't rely on installing it from pub. However, that's true for other packages that pub uses as well: http, path, and oauth.

The solution is pretty straightforward: pub just includes a "vendored-in" copy of the packages it needs internally.

So YAML likely will become a package when we get around to pulling it out of pub.
