Juergen,

I was not suggesting to have a feature for all identities but I would assume that there are several identities that logically belong to each other so these could be grouped.  If this would still lead to a lot of features I do not see how a deviation can help out here to reduce the number of identities as you do not have a schema node for identities so to me the only way to reduce the amount of interface types one supports is to define a YANG module importing ietf-interfaces for the base interface-type identity and defining the set of identities required but then this not really in-line with what is coming from the standardization bodies (you could re-use the same names as used in iana-if-type but this is not very nice).

Regards, Bart

Whatever module organization you come up with, it won't work for all implementations.

Making every identity a feature will turn the feature system upside down. This is similar to making every leaf a feature.

If my implementation only supports A and B and C, then a deviation may state exactly that and the problem is solved. Hoping that my specific combination of A and B and C matches a set of modules or some set of features is in my view an illusion.

Vendors not shipping proper deviations are essentially telling their customers that they have not yet understood model driven management.
We need to change the mindset here instead of polluting our data models with hundreds or thousands of fine grained 'features'.
