Thank you for reminding people of the Entity-MIB Yang Model.

        I agree with Juergen on the interfaces point. I also want to remind
folks that the chassis-related stuff are being broken off and put into the
effort to build the Entity-MIB Yang Model.  There is a design team that I
kicked off in NETMOD to do this work. Jimmy is part of that DT and should be
able to sync up with that effort.
