@DanSheps commented on GitHub (Jul 19, 2023):

Personally, I don't see the need.

PrimaryModel only adds description and comments, both of which can be added by individual plugins. OrganizationalModel adds name, slug and description. Again, nothing breaking and can easily be added by the developers themselves.

I beg to differ slightly. I feel it keeps the plugin development consistent with the rest of the application and avoids adding the same boilerplate code that NetBox core already provides.

I've tagged this as needs milestone, however we first need to decide whether we're going to commit to these concepts internally.

I'm tagging this tentatively for NetBox v4.5, given our recent investment in standardizing usage of the base model classes under #20304.
