+# 2020-08-05: yes /etc/iiab/iiab_state.yml is necessary, but we DON'T

+# (The iiab_state.yml file should always be created by ./iiab-install,
+# for IIAB's Ansible roles that then auto-populate this file.)
+#
+# FYI ./iiab-network and ./iiab-configure likewise warn operators (IN RED!)
+# if they try to run without the existence of /etc/iiab/iiab_state.yml :
