Re: [netconf] Adoption-suitability for draft-unyte-netconf-distributed-notif

Hi Andy,

Does Tianran’s response resolve your "I do not understand why the client needs this feature” comment?   As it currently stands, your comment reads like an objection.

The comment regarding if this work should be in its own RFC or as a Bis is a process-question to chairs can ask the WG after determining support for moving the work forward.

Kent and Mahesh, as NETCONF chairs.
