Subject: [netmod] "immutable" flag

Hi, all

There are some system configuration which may not be modifiable for clients(e.g., interface "name" and "type"). Should we define an "immutable" flag to indicate to the clients which system configuration is read-only or which is not?

The server will return an error if the clients attempt to configure a value for a system defined data node with an "immutable" flag.

My assumption is that this annotation should be carried only when the clients retrieve <running> with "with-system" parameter to get  a merged view.

Suggestions, comments and concerns about this issue?

Best Regards,
