Done, Kent.

Thanks for follow up.

Hey, Qin.  I see you removed the ZTP reference.  I saw the conversation, and 
you still have the text about resetting other processes.  That said, you still 
have an informative reference to RFC8572.

[Qin]: Yes, resetting processes or restarting node did cover ZTP part, from 
Martin’s comment, I feel we don’t need to tie resetting process with RFC8572, 
since RFC8572 actually focuses on SZTP.
Actually we may have a lot of legacy ZTP mechanism we can leverage, I am not 
sure which reference I should stick to. Make sense?

More importantly, though, how do you see this practically being implemented?  
With an ops dir hat, I’m walking through Section 2, and sending a factory-reset 
RPC to a device.  The device immediately resets <running> to default and 
<operational> to some similar default state.  The device has become unreachable 
within the network.  A reboot or other reset is optional to implement, so as an 
operator I’m not really sure what to expect at this point.

[Qin]:I am not sure we should make restart or reboot as mandatory after 
factory-reset rpc, I think factory-reset rpc affects kernel level, it will be 
good not to restart the node, if it touches hardware level, it is be important 
to reboot or restart the node. Another angle we can have is if factory-reset 
rpc is executed in the trust environment, it may be not necessary to restart 
the node or root.

Typically (well, at least for me), I’m either going to do a factory reset today 
through the console (if I’m going to RMA or otherwise decommission the device) 
in which case I don’t care if it’s reachable on the network; or I use a remote 
“write erase” then reload to prepare the device for a re-bootstrap.  For this 
latter use case I see the RPC being valuable, but I’d need to know that the 
device will reload or otherwise re-prepare itself for bootstrapping.  In a 
multi-vendor environment some consistency there would be useful.

I would think that practically an implementor would reboot the device after 
receiving and executing this RPC?  I admit that perhaps in virtual cases, a 
reload may not be required, but I wonder if some operational considerations are 
needed to let vendors know how best to go about implementing this for best 
results.
[Qin]: See above, may close to the example you raised above, let me know if you 
want to add some text in security section or somewhere else to address your 
comments. The proposal is appreciated.

Joe

Today ends the two-week Last Call, which passed.  Thank you everyone who 
participated.

Qin, I'll start the shepherd writeup after -07 has been posted addressing the 
Last Call comments.
