It seems harwdare-state-change is not netconf-config-change. The
harwdare-state-change indicates that the '/hardware-state/component'
list has changed, i.e., operational state has changed not config.  (It
is always important to read the descriptions and not to draw wrong
conclusions from the fact the SNMP notification was called
entConfigChange.)

Not sure what 'better' means. I assume that generating these specific
notifications can likely be done way more efficiently than doing the
same via a pub/sub interface unless the pub/sub backend code is really
really smart. That said, I would not be surprised if application
writers will use pub/sub for everything because the hammer makes
everything look like a nail.
