We could use xargs sharding like 'chk_bindings' does. That goes from
18s to 5s for me (i7-7700HQ). Good enough? Not sure why I didn't other
than thinking 20sec was fast enough.

Another option would be doing yamllint as part of cmd_extract_ex or we
could have a command line variable to disable yamllint.

cmd_chk_bindings always does. cmd_mk_schema needs both. So I think
this doesn't work for all cases.
