I agree that the requirements for SDO models are slightly different from 
vendors models.  Really, I think that the SDO requirements are a subset of the 
vendor model requirements.

I think that a single solution should be possible here.

Thanks,
Rob

The combination of these bullet items, and maybe other bullet items does not 
make clear if there was any consensus in allowing (or maybe even preventing) 
vendors from using a versioning system to keep track of NBC changes on other 
(non-latest) branches of the model. I think I heard from multiple vendors 
(outside of this meeting) that making NBC changes was needed on the non-latest 
branches, whatever IETF or other SDOs decide. Has that sentiment changed?

If it is the case, the split between the requirements of SDO and the vendors is 
inevitable.

If there is a solution that can handle multiple branches, then the
same solution should work for SDOs that choose to use only a single
branch. I do not see why a split is inevitable.

If a single solution works for both SDO and the vendor, that is great. And I 
think that was the point of the third bullet in the list I send.

But that does mean the requirements of SDO and the vendor community cannot be 
different. There is a strong requirement that SDOs make NBC changes only on the 
most recent version of the YANG models. In the vendor community, NBC changes 
are going to be made on non-latest branches also.
