It seems that addressing this issue on a step by step has worked well for the topology models

Let's then consider a second question/convention about the prefix to use for flexi-grid YANG model

I think that "flexi-grid" (which would lead to "flexi-gt" for flexi-grid Topology) is a bit too long for a prefix

I have not found any better option to shorten flexible other than flexi or flex. I think f is really too short to be meaningful and fx can be misunderstood as fixed as well

Therefore, I think we can shorten it to either "flexig" or "flexg" (which would lead to "flexigt" or "flexgt" respectively for flexi-grid Topology)

I have a slight preference for the latter option ("flexg" leading to "flexgt" for flexi-grid Topology) but I am open to other opinions or better proposals

Any other opinion?

<tp>
I prefer flexg of the options you suggest.  

There is something un-English about flexig, it just sounds wrong, and flexigt is worse.

(In passing, flex-g looks wrong to me with just one letter after the hyphen, it needs two).
