What about this scenario?
module base-module {
prefix bmod;
feature things;
feature widgets;
container things {
if-feature things;
...
container widgets {
if-feature widgets;
...
}
}
}
module augment-module {
prefix amod;
augment "/bmod:things" {
container other-things {
}
}
augment "/bmod:widgets" {
container other-widgets {
}
}
}
At some point, a product wants to implement the base-module and the
augment-module but does not support 'widgets'. How should this be handled? I
realize that ideally you would have an augment module for things and another
for widgets but let's say that is not the case and you are left with the above.
The question then is does the augment need to be conditional via the same
feature or does it implicitly inherit the feature of the augmented node?

The spec says:
When a server implements a module containing an "augment" statement,
that implies that the server's implementation of the augmented module
contains the additional nodes.
Compare with a simple augment of a node w/o an if-feature. In this case, if
the server implements the augmenting module, it MUST also implement the
augmented module.
