I do not think this is Y34. Relocating YANG models is not covered by any of the YANG 1.1 issues as far as I can tell and issue submission closed about a year ago. I suggest someone interested in such a feature writes an independent I-D. And as usual, the devil is in the details. /js On Sun, Jul 26, 2015 at 05:49:17PM +0000, Acee Lindem (acee) wrote: > I think being able to place a given model anywhere in the device tree > would be useful and this would allow a model to be rooted in different > locations on different devices.
