I suggest to try to make the proposal simpler, not more complex.

In this case, the proposed factory datastore and new operation can work together with zero touch bootstrapping procedure proposed in draft-ietf-netconf-zerotouch.

That means in the new operation, multiple target list can be included. If multiple factory defaults are allowed,multiple sources can be included as well.
