The desired behavior we're looking for in yang is ideally making use of the 
groupings exported by the BFD yang module.  This permits a simple maintainable 
place to put BFD session parameters.

There are two issues Mahesh is alluding to:
1. Multipoint is currently not in the BFD yang spec.  Thus, the BFD yang team 
has homework to provide support for that option to allow modules such as a vrrp 
module supporting this feature to import it.
2. VRRP would only utilize this in *some* circumstances; namely the 
master/backup scenario rather than each backup.  Configuration state would 
likely be consistent, but ti does make the operational state a bit trickier.  
The session is provisioned, but may not be started - and it may not even be 
*instantiated* depending on the implementation and whether the priority of the 
VRRP router is lower than the first available backup.
