Subject: yaml gen NL families support in iproute2?

Hi all,

please allow me to [re?]start this conversation.

I think it would be very useful to bring yaml gennl families support in 
iproute2, so that end-users/admins could consolidated 
administration/setup in a single tool - as opposed to current status 
where something is only doable with iproute2 and something with the 
yml-cli tool bundled in the kernel sources.

Code wise it could be implemented extending a bit the auto-generated 
code generation to provide even text/argument to NL parsing, so that the 
iproute-specific glue (and maintenance effort) could be minimal.

WDYT?

Thanks,

Paolo
