Hi, this morning I attended the side meeting "Next Step of IETF YANG". I was somewhat misled into thinking that it would be about future evolution of YANG the language, which was not the case at all. However, my personal conclusion from the meeting is that it would be a total disaster to throw in a new version of YANG within the next few years or so.
The operators and equipment vendors are busy putting together YANG modules and tools, filling the gaps, coping with NMDA, schema mount, IETF versus OpenConfig etc. A new YANG version (and modules written in it) would IMO be extremely counter-productive at this rather turbulent stage. So, if we want to continue the yang-next discussion, I think we first have to figure out how to evolve YANG without making waves in the current YANG pond and let the operators and vendors do their work, without which YANG can never succeed.
