Yes, this is true, we need both. But I believe that addressing telemetry
first is easier as the agent providing telemetry information is usually
much simpler in design than a full node database.

Because without actual implementation support, a schema is not very
useful by itself.

It is true that you first need to configure the devices, but you usually
do this via a standard interface (for example in OpenWrt via UCI). So it
is a simple matter of matching actual interfaces to their configuration
sections -- nodewatcher-agent does this for OpenWrt/UCI and so it is
independent of the mechanism used for actually generating that UCI
configuration.
