## "yes" and "no" are strings
In the yaml 1.2 standard, support for yes/no as booleans was dropped - they are now considered strings. See '10.2.1.2. Boolean' in https://yaml.org/spec/1.2.2/
Given a sample.yml file of:
```yaml
- yes
- no
```

```bash
yq '.[] | tag' sample.yml
```
will output
```yaml
!!str
!!str
```
