I completely agree with your approach, and I can accept all of the conclusions that you and Eliot have reached. So, let's get those documents updated!
In the interest of moving netconf forward, I'd like to make two proposals.
First that we look at the list of issues Andy posted before the holidays and see which ones have an existing concensus. If a concensus can be declared, let's close these issues asap.
Second that we look at the list of issues and pitch all the questionable features for which concensus is not appearing. If we haven't reached concensus yet, we likely won't and continued debate risks stalling this work.
