This is mostly unrelated to YANG, but .....

I just can't understand why one would want an operation that returns
add known data.  It's like having "cat" spit out all files on every
file system.  It's like having "ls" do "ls -lR /" by default.  It's
worse because it's both of those, since files and directories are
data on the device.  Does <get> return file contents?  Does it
return /dev/mem and /proc/*/mem?  If it gets everything, how can
it possibly be useful?  Operationally, this would be a disaster.

Thanks,
 Phil
