The reason I chose the word 'semantics' was to emphasize that if yamllint exited with an error, it means that the YAML being tested might be semantically different from what the user intended as opposed merely being stylistically/conventionally problematic.

In order words, my proposed yamllint -d semantics-only foo.yaml is a very weak/permissive configuration, which makes most of the common rules about the YAML itself get flagged only as warnings, but anything that could result in broken configuration should cause a failure (i.e. error exit).
