ncs:init and ncs:ready in plan component

[neetimit]

When we create plan component in NSO, why is it mandatory to add ncs:init and ncs:ready states?

and is there a way we can rename these 2 states in service code?

Any inputs appreciated.

Thanks,

The plan is supposed to be a standardized way of describing the progress of a Reactive Fastmap service. Therefore the naming is important so that the first and the last state is recognizable as well as having a "self" component that shows the overall progress of the service. Renaming these states would make it hard for an outside observer/program to identify start or endpoints.
