Juniper (JunOS), Nokia (SROS) and Cisco (XR) are all YANG-model-first with
proprietary models needed to do anything in the configuration engine, so
their proprietary models are feature complete from a configuration pov.
I've run into others as well, for instance the ones made using Conf-D.
When discussing translation, question is what to translate to/from. The
only way would be to create a standard model, which is exactly what's
being done in multiple SDOs, for instance openconfig and ietf. As you say,
they'll always be a subset, but if you can get by with openconfig for some
of the functionality then devices supporting the openconfig model from
multiple vendors can be configured for that subset using a single model
instead of using the proprietary models.
