[Netconf] Netconf-partial-lock comment/discuss

[Balazs Lengyel <balazs.lengyel at ericsson.com>]

Hello Dan,
In the tracker https://datatracker.ietf.org/idtracker/ballot/3035 about the 
draft-ietf-netconf-partial-lock-09 you have the comment:

Discuss [2009-08-12]:
Late discussions among the editors and implementers of the NETCONF standard
raised the issue of possibly removing partial-lock for startup, since it was
clarified in 4741bis that startup cannot be modified with
edit-config. I am
holding a DISCUSS until the WG reaches the consensus on this issue.

ANSWER: startup and candidate datastores removed from the scope in the already stored -10 
draft. They can not be locked with partial-lock. Startup was removed due to the argument you 
raised, candidate because:
- partial-locking was always aimed predominantly towards the running database. 
Partially-Locking the candidate was always seen as a lesser use-case included for completeness.
- a number of people objected that having partial locking with a global commit operation will 
lead to problems
- the workgroup consensus was not broad enough



Please indicate if you can accept these answers!

regards Balazs
