In fact, it is just the good old Occam's Razor: Entities should not be
multiplied unnecessarily. Simplicity of concepts is especially important
here because the majority of YANG modules will be written (hopefully) by
people having only a casual experience with YANG.

Anyway, it doesn't help us in the current state of affairs. It looks
like we are stuck and no compromise is in sight.
