I guess I understand the system datastore differently. Perhaps some
examples help:

1) Consider an interface generating link-local IPv6 addresses. I
   expect that these address has or:system, I do not expect to find
   them in the system datastore.

2) Consider a system that has a default administrative user account.
   I expect that this account has sysds:system, I consider this hard
   wired configuration.

3) I consider a list of applications or preconfigured ACL rules as
   sysds:system content. This is also the example given in the I-D.

I do not find where the document says that all system generated
applied config should be reflected in sysds:system. This would turn
sysds:system into a constantly changing dynamic configuration
datastore. And if system is merged into intended, I start wondering
whether values would not have or:intended. Or if your model applies,
then why would we even need a new identity since we have already
or:system?
