Certainly a start.

This is true.  It's also true that that style entered the BFD YANG model
because a unified-only mechanism is what some vendors have implemented.  If
their implementations don't cover the split mode you're requiring them to
create a deviation.

There is always a tension between service models and the needs of the
underlying device model.

That said, you're losing the benefits of work already done.  As an example,
you're missing the default detection multiplier because you're doing the
work yourself rather than leveraging other work.  This means you're
requiring the model users to always provision a paramter that is usually
left as a default.

Clearly the BFD Working Group can't force you to use our work in your model,
especially if there are features that aren't a clean fit.  That said, when
it comes IETF review time, the choice to go-it-alone will be noted so that
the YANG doctors can do an appropriately thorough audit.

The BFD Working Group is also happy to help with review once it's time.
