Re: [CCAMP] [OPSAWG] [inventory-yang] poll for network inventory base model

[Alexander L Clemm <[e-mail]>]

I think that options 1 and 2 are closer than we think and can be aligned 
if we can agree on getting rid of the network-hardware-inventory 
container object that is defined in draft-ietf-ccamp-network-inventory.  
This will allow us to move forward quickly with a model for network 
hardware inventory, as required by ccamp, while preserving the option 
for a model that can be generalized and extended to incorporate other 
types of inventory, as desired by ivy.  I'll describe a bit more details 
in a separate email in order to not distract from the poll.

I guess this makes me a proponent of option 3, but with the caveat that 
this would not need to restart from scratch.  Instead it can be derived 
in very straighforward manner from the existing models with these slight 
alignments as described.  I am also sure that a lot of the existing text 
can be salvaged.
