Hi Michael, About this:
My understanding is that an example might be the presence of an "lo" device in a list of interfaces would be immutable. While other interfaces can be added/deleted, that interface itself can't be deleted. I'm not sure the existence of the "lo" interface is the best example for "immutable". The "lo" entry in the interfaces list would be visible in the <system> datastore (i.e. when doing a <get-data> on <system>). The user has the option to copy that entry into <running> to make it also visible in <running>. It can't be deleted from <system> but it can always be deleted from <running> even if it is marked as "immutable". But if it is marked as "immutable", then it would mean that various child leafs could not be modified in <running> (or <system>) to different values (unless they had a property of "immutable false" that overrides the parent "immutable true" property). So I find it easier to think about "immutable" in terms of leafs and their values not being able to change.
