With the clarifiactions and updates in
draft-verdt-netmod-yang-module-versioning, non-linear versioning
works without modified semver.  So there is no technical reason to use
modified semver in IETF modules.

I can reluctantly accept that modified smever is published as
Experimental.  But that doesn't mean that IETF modules should use it.
