Hello,

I agree that revising the RFC6020bis) now is not the way to go. But if we want schema-mount we need a solution. Both for the current provisional proposal and for design-time mount yang extensions are used.  IMHO this is a viable solution and a much better one then putting all information about mounting into plain English or run-time data.

regards Balazs

- Running a document of the size and complexity of the YANG

- It is not clear at this point in time that YANG mounts are required

- It is up to this WG to keep YANG 1.1 stable. Claiming YANG isn't

  circular logic.

I strongly believe that it is feature to work with extensions wherever
possible. Gain experience with language extensions first and if they
are widely deployed and used, consider to move them into the core at
some point in time. I believe it is desirable to keep the complexity
of the core YANG language somewhat under control.

You likely won't agree with any of this and this is fine. But I also
do not agree with your statement that working with extensions is just
a layer 8 (political) issue.
