Gunter:
The goal is to explain it in the I2RS architecture statement, and then refer back to it in other documents (if needed).

It is only about a year ago i started reading up on i2rs and discovered this particular terminology, and at the time a google search on this terminology was not very conclusive and resulted to some confusion. I understand very well the confusion at play here from non-native english speaker perspective. Adding text to explain the context in which the term Ephemeral is useful/advised. fwiw now that i am used to seeing ‘Ephemeral' as non-permanent config across reboot, i’m adapted its intended purpose… Is the goal to explain the intended meaning in each draft/rfc mentioning it?

In the review, the OPS-DIR review indicated that “ephemeral” meant more than “does not survive a reboot”. They have asked the I2RS working group if replacing “ephemeral” with non-persistent (across power on/off or reboot cycles) would be a better choice. What do you think – leave at it at “ephemeral” or change to “non-persistent (across power on/off or reboot cycles) ? We will have a 1 week call on This would mean every place that “ephemeral” is listed, the authors would replace with “non-persistent”. In the first instance, we will indicate “non-persistent (across power on/off or reboot cycles). <wg chair hat off> As the author, I think we are better to define ephemeral at the beginning as “non-persistent (across power on /off or reboot). Changing the definition at this point, I suspect will simply confuse people.
