Hi!
Alex, see inline on your comments.
Another thing, you had an earlier comment:
"I would like to see a YANG feature for past status changes, or perhaps this
part moved to a separate module augmenting ietf-alarms.”
Just to make sure I get your comment correctly.
Are you saying that you would like the alarm/status-change list to be a YANG
feature to indicate “optionality"
list status-change {
if-feature alarm-status-changes; <<<<<
key time;

So, we could consider the alarm-inventory to have an additional leaf “resource”.
I think that would resolve your issue?
Of course not all systems know that, but for those that do, this helps a lot, I
agree.
I see that go well with another relevant comment you had that the
alarm-inventory should have
a requirement that it needs to be updated when new cards are inserted for
example.
We might even add a notif for alarm-inventory changes.

I think you are talking about a very useful application in the management
system.
This does not mean the exact same view need to available in the alarm interface.
