In the subject you write "more visible", in the description it says "more friendly". I assume you mean the latter in general? In any case the current plan is to go with more information stored in VCS itself, e.g. as covered in #50675 so I will mark the ticket as blocked by that one accordingly.

Of course the YAML editor is less easy to use compared to the old one where you just had to select some values from drop down lists. Now you have to C&P from the YAML guide to have at least a base beside products: {} scenarios: {}. It would also be nice to see some real-world examples, e.g. some openSUSE tests I wanted to run locally apparently use a glob star (opensuse-*-Staging-DVD-x86_64 and version: '*') which isn't mentioned in the YAML guide.

Make no mistake, the * has nothing to do with YAML.
