You either assume that all existing uses of inet:ip-address (inside
the IETF and outside the IETF) are wrong or you are willing to break
all the existing correct uses of inet:ip-address so that the type
matches your expectations.

The existing YANG update rules are pretty clear that changing the
semantics of definitions is not allowed. Hence, all the WG could do
is to deprecate ip-address and to introduce ip-address-zone.
