Well, honestly, YANG 1.1, while compatible when viewed from the
perspective of a client processing XML, has a different metamodel than
YANG 1.0.

One example for all: YANG 1.0 metamodel did not require multiple
inheritence anywhere, whereas YANG 1.1 requires it to deal with 'base'
being '0..n' instead of '0..1'.

While it is a relatively simple change on the surface, making it happen
in a software ecosystem (with API stability guarantees, release cycles,
etc.) does frustrate users even in presence of non-lazy authors (who
also get frustrated)...

Robert
