Hi,

Earlier today Mach and I were asking Lada if we could have a config list w/o 
keys for our use case and he pointed us to this thread.

This is exactly what we need. For some lists we don't need to operate on 
individual list members. We don't need to inject a member in front of another 
remember. All we need is to specify a list of entries, which could even be 
non-unique.

For example, we may want to configure a label stack used in a nexthop. The same 
label value could be used in different positions of the stack so the label 
itself could not be used as key. Typically we'd want to specify the entire 
stack from sctrach, and if a change is needed it'd be replaced entirely, or at 
most we may add/remove a label at the top or bottom of the stack.

With the current requirement of a key for a config list, we'd need to assign an 
artificial ID as the key for the list. That is really cumbersome and does not 
provide any value.

Hope this can be accepted and supported in the tools soon.

Thanks.
Jeffrey
