Description

Description
Napalm-yang has been abandoned upstream a couple years ago. Advice is to use yangify instead.

I'm not sure it would make sense to build a new napalm driver based on yangify, or fork napaml-yang, but since I'm considering administering netconf/yang based devices (namely 6wind's soft routers), I thought it would be worth filling an issue.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the napalm-yang and yangify upstream links named in the issue, then inspect Salt's existing Netconf/YANG and Napalm integration points. Determine whether the expected outcome is a new yangify-based driver, a fork, or documented guidance; the issue is complete only when that direction is decided and implemented or recorded.
