NETMOD WG:

I have some questions on the use cases around the intended use of draft-schoenw-netmod-smi-yang-02.
Presuming we end up having standards-based tools that convert SMIv2 MIBs into YANG modules and we can easily convert all the RFC MIBs into YANG Modules, what if we don't want all the SMIv2 baggage in our YANG modules and corresponding data model implementations on the client and server?

Will there now be two YANG modules published for every RFC MIB?  One that is auto-converted using the translation tool built around this draft standard and another one that is built from the ground-up (i.e., YANG-centric, no SMI baggage), perhaps by this working group (for example, the SNMP Cfg module)?

Thanks,
