Well, we have had a need for a structure to represent telemetry data
coming from the nodes. And as different nodes can provide different
telemetry (think also about various sensors), the schema supporting this
data must be modular and extensible.

We need this in order for nodewatcher to then parse this information and
process it further.

I agree with this definition.

Well, for our needs as written above, the minimal requirement is
modularity and extensibility. This is why a monolithic schema is not
good for us.

If this "small schema" would already be modular, then we have no problem
with starting small.
