[Netconf] [NETCONF] <get-schema> mandatory parms discussion

["Mark Scott" <markscot at nortel.com>]

Andy,

A rationale for not modifying the mandatory parameters in <get-schema>
was posted to the ML on Sept 16th.

I suspect you missed that based on the comment below so I am repeating
it here for further discussion:

	"2.  <get-schema> mandatory parameters:  Initially <identifier>
was the only mandatory parameter in the <get-schema> operation, however
after we agreed to expand the key definition in the schema list we made
<version> and <format> mandatory parameters in the operation.  My
preference would be to keep this alignment between the key and
<get-schema> mandatory parms.  I agree in cases where only 1 revision
and/or 1 format exists this is heavy-handed but it protects against
agents returning schema a manager may not have intended since
<identifier> is not unique in schema list and the logic on agent to
select the default revision may differ from what the manager would have
selected (esp. if more than 1 version exists)."

Previously no one else had objected to these being mandatory parameters
and no ML consensus had been reached to modify it.

I have changed the subject header of this email in an attempt to
initiate a ML discussion and will update the draft based on consensus.

I never saw 1 objection to making this change.
Again, where is the email documenting the co-Chairs decision
to exclude this change?
