Great, we agree that we need some structure like we have for routing elsewhere.

Can you point me towards any proposal other than 
draft-openconfig-netmod-model-structure or 
draft-rtgyangdt-rtgwg-device-model–00 for this structure?

Already, implementors are having problems with this - because existing modules 
that are pretty mature (ietf-bgp for example), need more functionality than is 
in ietf-routing to make usable multi-VRF systems, let alone 
multi-routing-instance. If there were some structure, we could understand how 
these models need to be augmented to support the use cases. I’ll come back to 
the case of how I configure something that is a L2 virtual forwarding instance, 
that uses has a L3 IP interface within it.

On the latter comments in your mail, I place little importance on obsoleting 
existing RFCs, I care about:

Primarily: whether the existing models let me configure things that I need to 
on my network (or form a suitable base for doing so).
Secondary: impact to existing implementations where these models are actually 
usable to some external consumer.
Kind regards,
r.
