Thanks Balazs for heads up. I think the security guideline we are currently 
following is one defined in the following link:
https://trac.ietf.org/trac/ops/wiki/yang-security-guidelines
If it is a issue, I believe it applies to all YANG related documents.

SECDIR review of draft-ietf-netmod-factory-default-14

Section 6, Security Considerations, calls for use of SSH (RFC 6242) with 
NETCONF and HTTPS (RFC 8446) with RESTCONF. The TLS reference is current, 
citing TLS v1.3. However, RFC 6242 is a document that describes how to use SSH 
with NETCONF. That document, in turn, cites RFC 4254, and that RFC cites RFC
4253 for a description of SSH. 4253 is a very much out of date document; the 
integrity and key management algorithms in the original RFC have been updated 3 
times (6668, 8268, and 8332). The encryption algorithms cited in 4253 are all 
outdated. This discussion of SSH security for use with NETCONF, based on the 
one citation, seems to be inconsistent with current IETF crypto guidelines.
This is a problem that the net management area should address before this 
document is approved.

The discussion of how a factory-reset RPC may isolate a device, is good, as is 
the warning about not relying on this RPC to prevent recovery of 
security-sensitive data from NV storage.
