Hi Steve,
I will add it to the issues discussion.
With the end of EMI, product team coordination and reduced development effort there have been various warnings that configuration will move away from YAIM. This is EMI wide and not just an APEL decision. We have (discussed and) fed back on this before and suggested a gradual transition would be better; however I suspect we need to 'plan' for a worst case where multiple configuration tools are used. I agree we need to discuss this topic again now that we are faced with the deployment realities and have an idea of what is currently supported. Many products (perhaps most of the EMI ones in UMD) were heading to use of Puppet and I doubt we'll convince people to also support YAIM much longer, but we can highlight the problems we see.
