Maybe configuration of the entity tree for pluggable items should be handled via augmentations that are specific to pluggable items?
There seems to be an analogy with interfaces here. The ietf-interfaces module provides only a read-only view of the interface stack, and interface type-specific modules are expected to provide a means of configuring the stack for interfaces of that type (where necessary).
