That's interesting, thank you. Guess I have seen it before but since
the link to the issue was (and still is) 404 it wasn't that
informative.

What do you think about my approach though? I would think it can work
right away with many different existing Redfish backends
implementations without going through standartisation process and
covers a wide range of actual usecases. In my first mail I outlined
the core ideas which are trivially expandable to proper user stories
if needed, so it's not just a "feature" but one can clearly describe
why, who, when and where could be using that "what".

Do you have other related and relevant usecases in mind that can not
be nicely covered by that prototype I've shown?
