I do not think it makes sense for IETF to define an uber structure, especially using a language mandating forever backwards compatibility… 
	
	I personally think this is an important point not just for a list of the most recent incarnations of modules, but also as we (perhaps rapidly) iterate and rev modules going forward.  In particular, think about this within the context of the RFC model and what that implies going forward for model iteration.   Assembling pieces, including different revisions of models, is something we should think about.

Certainly there is a huge data model overlap between the host system and the logical systems, but some data may only exist in the host system and some data may only exist in a logical system.  Making things more interesting, some data in the host system (e.g., an interface) can be exported to a logical system as a read-only value.   The way I solved this in another life was using conditional enablement [1] on a shared data model to indicate the applicability of nodes in a context.
