Yes, that's correct. For example, network intent defined in YANG could be distributed. > But I agree with you we could investigate how YANG, ANINMA, NETCONF work > together. That's a very interesting topic. Sure. We should come back to it as soon as the initial ANIMA document set is complete, which (fingers crossed) will not be too long now.
