📄 Description

Fixes:

It is a frequent misconception that Device Bays (parent/child) are what you'd use for line cards in a chassis switch or router - e.g. #2752, #2234, #2145, #1760, #1205, #970, #823, #636, #337, various group postings.

This patch expands the documentation to explain how these should be modelled instead.

(Could also link to #824 but I have not done that)
