RFC 7950, Section 7.1.4:
When used inside the "import" statement, the "prefix" statement
defines the prefix to be used when accessing definitions inside the
imported module. When a reference to an identifier from the imported
module is used, the prefix string for the imported module followed by
a colon (":") and the identifier is used, e.g., "if:ifIndex". To
improve readability of YANG modules, the prefix defined by a module
SHOULD be used when the module is imported, unless there is a
conflict. If there is a conflict, i.e., two different modules that
both have defined the same prefix are imported, at least one of them
MUST be imported with a different prefix.
Is there a reason to violate the SHOULD?
