[netmod] explicit mount

[Martin Bjorklund <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

In yesterday's meeting, Lou (I think?) mentioned a use case for mount
that is not documented in draft-rtgyangdt-rtgwg-device-model; the need
for being able to specify modules to mount directly in the schema.
Something like this:

  container root {
    ymnt:mount-point "lne" {
      ymnt:mount-module "ietf-interfaces";
    }
  }

It would be useful if the use case for this could be described in more
details.  Is it a requirement to be able to specify this in the
schema, or could it be done (as Chris mentioned) in the RFC text?

The reason I ask is that it is probably not as simple as the example
above.  First, you probably need to specify a revision of the module
to be mounted.  Or a min-revision.  Then probably a set of features
that must be enabled.  And so on.  It turns out that there is already
a proposal for specifying such a "conformance profile" - YANG Packages
(see draft-bierman-netmod-yang-package).  Maybe it would be better to
re-use packages?
