Are you saying that legacy boxes sitting in dark closets would somehow be 
updated to provide this indication?

[RW] 
Actually, I don't think that would be required.  Obsoleting a node requires a 
new revision of the YANG module, so it only depends on which revision of the 
YANG model is implemented by the device.  Hence, if you update the legacy box 
to use the new YANG module which now contains status obsolete nodes, that you 
should also update the legacy box software at the same time to not implement 
the obsoleted nodes.

Thanks,
Rob
