        Im going from a netconf/yang model perspective with the assumption that 
%100 of a configuration is modeled in yang and operationally available via 
netconf (or restconf).  If you then think of this configuration as a 
configuration set of objects, I like to think about i2rs as a proper subset of 
this.  Operational reality also shows this to be the case. There seems to be no 
good reason to have something you can configure/read from this set of objects 
that differs if you use the i2rs "protocol" versus netconf/restconf.
