Maybe, but there were severeal list_to_atoms in yaws_api you wanted to change
and some of them don't seem to be backwards compatible.
For example mk_key/1 in do_parse_spec/6 returns a tuple
that is used by yaws code in applications. 

element(1, of those tuples is an atom and all existing apps expect it
to be a atom. Hard to change ehh ...
