DISCUSS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

After some thought I think there are two things about this document that make
me uncomfortable enough to ballot Discuss.

a) Due to its home in the netmod WG it is highly likely that people outside the
yang community have not paid enough attention to this work. Since this is
applicable to code fragments of all kinds, I think the home chosen for this RFC
might have inadvertently limited input from the broader community.

b) Given a) I think it is better that this document go forward as an
Informational document rather than a BCP so that use of this technique becomes
optional, without the force of a BCP behind it.

COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I do agree with my Abstaining colleagues that this should probably not be on
the IETF stream but I think the work is useful enough to go forward.
