Disabling of anchors in YAML serialization, which makes configuration files much easier to read/edit/understand
once disabled. Anchors are basically pointers to pieces of text strings that prevent them from being repeated,
but in cobbler, they really don't add any value.
For users with configuration files that are still using anchors (&1, *1, etc), running "cobbler reserialize" can
remove them once upgraded to this version -- though that is not neccessary.
