Hi Job,

I wanted to comment on of your points more directly.

This is true, but it is also true that netmod has spent a huge effort on 
versioning for various reasons but one really important one.

It was determined in netmod that we were taking so long to publish YANG modules 
that no-one in the field cared anymore (see openconfig). This led to the belief 
that we needed to lower our standards for publication from "close to perfect" 
to just "good enough for now".

A great deal of effort has now gone into how to develop and publish YANG 
modules that may be imperfect -- maybe even broken enough to require 
non-backward compatible changes to fix -- and then we would simply fix them 
with follow on versions. 

Thanks,
Chris.
