value-start defaults to 0 for enum so this is unnecessary. Same for
the following enum definitions.

There's no dev-get do/dump op. I think there should be one for
diagnostics and metrics.

I am not sure how much information it can provide (as of now we only have the 'mode' that is being set upon creation).

In any case, I am not against implementing the op now and extend it later as we see fit.

This doesn't work because key-new doesn't have a reply. You should
define it with an event: block instead. You can see the build errors
here:

make -C tools/net/ynl

Oh, I wasn't aware of this subfolder.
Thanks for pointing it out!

I am thinking that it may make sense to implement a key-get op to extract non-sensible data about the keys (i.e. what cipher was configured). This may be useful for debugging as well.

At that point the key-swap-ntf can re-use the key-get as notify.


Cheers,
