Re: [netmod] New Version Notification for draft-ietf-netmod-factory-default-04.txt

Regarding this point:

> First, I remember we talked about a reboot operation I think at the last IETF(?).  It was said that perhaps a reboot would happen as part of this RPC because once the <running> datastore is reset to factory-default, the device would not be reachable.  I don’t know where we landed on that.  However, I think some attention should be paid to things like zero-touch provisioning.  If I reset to factory-default, I would expect the device to undergo any out-of-the-box bootstrapping.  Perhaps adding some text that after the RPC is executed, the device SHOULD perform any initial bootstrapping processes?

Perhaps the draft could say something like:

"...resets the configuration to the device's factory default configuration, for the OS version it is running.  For devices supporting zero touch bootstrapping mechanisms, the factory default configuration causes the bootstrapping process to execute."
