Re: [netconf] [netconf-wg/https-notif] Should the receivers container be moved under the augment statement and the leafref renamed? (#2)

Hi,

[What is the process when we have github issues?  I thought that
github would be used to track them, but discussion would be on the
ML?.  Right now I simply reply to the email I got.  Don't know where
it will end up.]

[Turns out it didn't go to the ML, hence this email!]

I don't understand this reason.

Since this is not a stand-alone model, I think it should augment
/sn:subscriptions.  In some way it doesn't matter what nodes are
called and where they are located, but having descriptive names and
keep related nodes under common subtrees helps the understanding of
models.

You are right that the namespace ensures that there won't be a
conflict, but I think that the node names should be descriptive by
themselves.  The namespace / module name is there to ensure
uniqueness, but the model will be easier to understand and use if the
node names are descriptive.  Note that it is quite common that
implementations use these models to render CLIs as well.

Do you think that the model will be worse if we make the suggested
changes?
