I haven't seen any previous discussions on the topic, but we have a similar 
problem.

Note this is not really to do with YANG itself, so much as the practical 
limitations of the software package that provides our CLI interface.

In NETCONF, the existence of extra unused identities doesn't pose any problem.

Subject: [netmod] An abundant amount of IANA if types...

Hi,

We were wondering if it would make sense to introduce features in the IANA if 
types YANG model to enable grouping of related interface types.  This would 
allow implementations to include only the types it really requires (by 
supporting the related features but not the others) and (in case of a CLI 
interface) would reduce the possible completions if an operator would ask for 
the possible values of the type of an interface.
Has this ever been considered/discussed?

Best regards,
Bart
