Deapplying and removing QoS policy in a single commit :). Opening
tickets about these tactically feels frustrating when the vendor
doesn't understand there is a strategic problem under the hood causing
these. Some other vendors who simply cannot produce config without
having models first don't have these commit time problems or they are
orders of magnitude rarer events.

Cisco keeps being confused about what does 'model driven' mean, the
moment you talk about coverage of models and being model driven,
you're confused what model driven means.

Cisco doesn't even have real config infra, if QoS policy doesn't
commit, that is QoS people problem, if tunnel config doesn't commit,
that's tunnel team problem and so-forth. Instead of them consuming
some internal config API, and having all commit problems be a config
team problem.
