This is good news.  Is that patch already in gerrit somewhere?

I think we never had support for this in OsmoBSC or even before in OpenBSC.

In GSM/3GPP spec language, every sector is a BTS.  The fact that many networks
use sectorized cells is nothing that reflects anywhere in the specification or
the terminology.  It's an implementation detail.

I think from the OsmoBSC point of view, a typical 3-sector site would still be
three logical BTSs (in the data model / structures).  It's "just" the respective
manufacturer OML code would have to be adjusted to accomodate a situation where
there are managed objects that only exist once per site, while others
exist per BTS/TRX/...

We have the same situation with Ericsson OM2000 support: Right now one
can only have a single BTS per RBS, as our OM2000 code doesn't
distinguish between MOs that exist once per site only (CF,  TF, IS, ...)
and MOs that exist for each BTS.
