Hi,
I was looking at how yd:yang-data (this draft) relates to
rc:yang-data (rfc8040). The document seems to imply that this draft's
extension is a replacement in one place (see abstract) , is supplemental
in another (sec 1, plus augment-yang-data example) and perhaps
orthogonal in a final (that rc:yang-data is still used/referenced at
all). I think the document should be clear as to it's objective with
respect to rc:yang-data.
Agreed. It is intended to replace rc:yang-data. I have fixed the
example that used rc:yang-data. Do you think we need any changes to
section 1 to clarify this?
Only that it should also reflect how the update/deprecation discussed below
is handled.
As rc:yang-data is currently defined in a protocol specific way, I (with
any/all hats) would prefer to see a definition of yang-data that would
work for any protocol that encodes and transports yang. I also
generally think that having two definitions for basically the same
mechanism isn't beneficial to implementors of IETF RFCs, so this leads
me to suggest that if this document becomes a WG document it should
deprecate rc:yang-data.
I assume this would formally mean that this document would "Update"
RFC 8040,
Yes, this looks right. although it is a bit subject to how the next point
is addressed
and then in the document have text that explains that
rc:yang-data is deprecated? Or do you suggest that we actually do a
8040bis that formally marks the rc:yang-data extension as
"deprecated", and instead uses yd:yang-data?
This is one option. Another is to just update the rc module with
rc:yang-data as deprecated.
At this point, since the document is still an individual draft, I suggest
that the authors propose their preference and that the working group weigh
in during the acceptance and normal WG processing.
Thanks,
Lou
