Well, the configured subscription is needed anyway in order for the
device to call home, so having the client create all configured
subscriptions as dynamic subscriptions as well doesn't seem quite
right.

It is quite possible that multiple RPC operations are needed to get the session
started, such as reading the YANG library, and that the client
is not ready to receive notifications as soon as the session is started.
So an <activate-configured-sessions> operation may help.


But if the WG agrees that it is ok to send <notification> directly,
this issue goes away.

Sitting idle is definitely OK.
Accepting notifications right away is OK as an implementation feature
outside the standard.

<Eric> If the NETCONF-Notif says that the NETCONF client for a configured subscription must be able to handle accepting notifications right away, do you see any standardization issue with this behavior in this context?
