Hi,

It's probably past WG Last Call, but I still do not understand
the value of splitting the ietf-snmp configuration module into
12 files (1 main + 11 sub-modules) instead of just 1 file.

IMO it makes it harder to read, not easier, and wrt/ YANG library
management,
there are 12 files to update and keep in sync, instead of 1.

Is there some expectation that individual sub-modules for SNMP
configuration will be updated regularly in new RFCs?
