Hi Martin,
 
I think using the more generic term, “networking”, at the top would be
preferable. What we need is an instance abstraction that covers L3 (e.g.,
virtual router or VRF), L2 (e.g., Virtual Switch Instance), or a
combination (some EVPN, TRILL, etc). This could be used in lieu of each L2
model creating their own top separate list of instances. For example, the
networking-instance could be augmented with both the VPLS and VPWS
instances in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-shah-bess-l2vpn-yang-00.

Some YANG models ascribe greatness from the start, others achieve
greatness through refinement, while still others have greatness thrust
upon them. routing-cfg would fall into the last category…

Thanks,
Acee
