I believe that starting a new model would cause a real pain since any
model augmentations now need to augment two differnet versions of the
IP model. (Actually any model references may cause extra work.)

I also believe that view that NMDA is for big gear but not for small
gear is not quite right. Differences between operational state and
config state exists in almost all systems I have seen. The /foo and
/foo-state approach came out of long discussions about how to model
interfaces (Lada should recall this) and it was kind of clear even
back then that /foo and /foo-state was just a 'hack', given the
specifications we had to work with. NMDA simplifies models and we
would be failing badly if we now start maintaining multiple versions
of models.
