[Re-titled thread for a separate applied config observation, and to avoid derailing the intend of the original thread] If the conclusion below reaches consensus, and all models have both "feature" and "feature-state" trees (as required), then I wonder whether it wouldn't also make sense to represent applied configuration on the path "feature-applied" as a direct duplication of the schema for the config nodes that live under "feature". I.e. I specifically *don't* mean writing this into the schema by hand, but just have systems (clients and servers) that support applied configuration instantiate a copy of all of the config schema nodes on to the "feature-applied" path. This would arguably be more in keeping with separate "feature" and "feature-state" trees, and also wouldn't require clients to manage separate trees for each datastore. It also means that the intended/applied/and derived state all have independent, but mechanically relate-able, paths.
