The restrictions and scopes might be defined, hopefully. It would also be ok to add new name.

This seems no different than OO code. A new class name is required for the derived class. In YANG a new grouping is required and specific uses-stmts have to be updated to use the new grouping.

If you wanted to only augment _some_ uses of a grouping, you could still do the same as today. Also, I would expect augmentations to only affect servers that support the module defining the augmentation. If verbosity were not an issue, why were groupings introduced in the first place? --- Alex > -----Original Message----- > From: netmod [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > ] On Behalf Of Juergen > Schoenwaelder > Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2017 11:15 AM > To: Xufeng Liu <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > > Cc: NETMOD WG <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > > Subject: Re: [netmod] Augmentation to Groupings > > The current approach may be verbose but it protects users of groupings from > unwanted and uncontrolled side effects.
