I'm with you %100. As co-chair of 2 wgs and deeply involved in the yang 
modeling efforts going on here and externally - most of which is clearly 
related - I'm puzzled. Benoit, Juergen and I have also been running a yangathon 
- hackathon for yang models - for a year now at each meeting which seems like a 
good fit for an org wide hackathon. No one approached us for this either.
