This is a good example. Another example, and somebody on the call today started 
to ask this but got cut off, relates to interfaces on the device.

Interfaces already exist on a system. As such they have a configuration 
(default values) that exists on them. They are enabled when configuration gets 
applied on them. They will have applied configuration but no intended 
configuration. Should this be reported?

Yet another example is of a BFD session that gets bootstrapped because of a 
ping. There is no intended configuration, but the session exists and a query of 
configuration in this case would return a valid BFD session.

Could we get some clarification (with examples, preferably) on what the 
expectation is from a openconfig opstate perspective?
