+1 It also would be nice if we could loosen the YANG migration rules so we could change leaves from ipv4-prefix to ipv4-address-and-length (or whatever we decide to call it) to handle the cases where the former has been used incorrectly. However, this is a separate issue.

In the end the current definition is what it is. If we want something different we can define it. I personally think an address/prefix-len would be useful, and would leave ip-prefix as is. (again just an individual's opinion.)
