Hello,

    o  "deprecated" indicates an obsolete definition, but it permits
       new/continued implementation in order to foster interoperability
       with older/existing implementations.

This means that a node that is deprecated MAY or MAY NOT be implemented.
YANG is considered an interface contract,  however "maybe implemented" is unusable in a contract.

From a client perspective, access control can have similar consequences.
A contract only outlines some of the kinds of things that
might possibly exist.  It doesn't tell you what's actually there or
whether you're allowed to do anything with them.

BALAZS : Disagree. From a client point of view it may look like the same, but from an operator (company) point of view it is different. If I am an operator like Vodafone or ATnT, if the restriction is based on access control, I can change my procedures to permit the usage. However if something is removed based on deprecated, I have no solution.
