Hi All, I started this thread for a discussion on the Intended Status of the Revised DS Draft. I think the discussion on technical issues of the DS concept can be discussed on one maillist. I call the new thread "Generic DS concept".

On the other hand, it doesn't enforce the use of operational-state datastore. A simple device like a WiFi-controlled electric socket could easily use just ietf-interfaces-config (and ietf-ip-config), i.e. no state data. >> >> Another example I am dealing with now is OpenWRT: with some effort, it would be possible to translate our nice configuration data into UCI files without touching the OpenWRT system itself.

This is of course possible but deviations are generally frowned upon, so why not use the modularity features for making it a little more flexible? I know some people will now say that without state data it is no proper network management but, speaking pragmatically, automated configuration would be a big boon by itself. > >> >>> The models may also be slightly more inconvenient to use because the state tree leaves would presumably be in a different namespace from the configuration? >>> >> Yes, but I don't think it is a big problem - even for human readers. > I'm not sure. I think that you might end up with a variation of the OpenConfig models, and based on experience I would say that those models are hard to read if they haven't been compiled first to expand the groupings and reveal the actual structure. One thing that makes modules really hard to read are augments, and we already have them all over the place. It's a trade-off between readability and modularity.
