I have been thinking about this for a while, so it's time to open a RFC!

The workflow definition is redundant. You have to define the places twice:

• in the places
• in the transitions

Example:

framework:
    workflows:
        article:
            places:
                - first
                - last
            transitions:
                go:
                    from: first
                    to: last

I think we could simplify it to:

framework:
    workflows:
        article:
            transitions:
                go:
                    from: first
                    to: last

Indeed, all places could be guessed from the transitions froms et tos. If a
place is not reached by a transition, it become useless anyway.

Pros

• Simpler configuration

Cons

• If one made a typo between the place and the transitions transition, it's
  not caught anymore

WDYT ?
