I realise that I should clarify this. The simplicity and implementability of Babel is one of its main features. Babel can be explained to a lecture hall of fourth-year students in 40 minutes. Babel can be implemented in less than 1000 lines of Python code, and a stub implementation of Babel has been written that compiles to 12kB of text. Babel has been independently reimplemented three times, and in one case it took the author (Markus Stenberg) just two nights to do the implementation. Given how important for us it is that Babel is a conceptually simple and highly implementable protocol, I believe that it would be a tragic mistake to make Babel dependent on the arguably complex protocol stack that is NETCONF/YANG/XML. What is more -- Babel development has been driven by the needs of our users. While we have been actively discussing management issues with our userbase for the last years (I can send some pointers to the list if you're interested), none of our users have every requested support for YANG. Hence, by making Babel dependent on YANG, we would not be serving our constituency well. -- Juliusz
