Packaging profiles as ... CSARs? Would this affect the metadata? (e.g. should the CSAR metadata contain the canonical namespace for the profile?)

Why is this needed? any use case? any technical issue if CSAR metadata does not contain profile metadata?

We received feedback from ETSI that it's useful for a CSAR to not have a root "service template" or even any TOSCA YAML files, to use the format for packaging other kinds of artifacts (e.g. YANG files).

CSAR is a TOSCA dedicated packaging format. Then a CSAR file without TOSCA YAML files is just a ZIP file. So ETSI could use ZIP files (or any other similar packaging formats) for packaging YANG files.

I imagine that they are also using the Metadata file part of CSAR in processing. We can ask ETSI for more information about this,
