The reason we're allowing for different versioning schemes is that no single versioning scheme has been unanimous. The proposal is for IETF to use yang-semver. Some vendors and other publishers of YANG artifacts may use yang-semver, while some may define their own scheme.
While this in theory allows for an open ended number of versioning schemes, I don't believe this will be the case. No, I'm not taking over-under bets ( Regards, Reshad.

I do not see how this leads to interoperability. Perhaps all the versioning work should be experimental until we know what the winning solution is? First semver was the solution, then we got semver plus extensions, and now we move full speed ahead to support an open ended number of versioning schemes? /js (who probably should have kept silent) On Mon, Apr 27, 2020 at 03:42:04PM +0000, Reshad Rahman (rrahman) wrote: > Hi, > > There was a discussion<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/netmod/?q=%22Interpreting%20revision%20labels%20as%20YANG%20semantic%20version%20numbers%22> on the need to have an extension which specifies which versioning scheme a module is using. > > The authors have identified 2 options: > > 1.
