;)  If we treat Netlink as more of an RPC than.. state replication(?)
mechanism having responses and notifications with the same ID is a bit
awkward. I felt like I had to make a recommendation in YNL either to
ask users not to enable notifications and issue commands on the same
socket, or for family authors to use different IDs. I went with the
latter. And made YNL be a bit conservative as to what it will consider
to be a notification.
