[Qin Wu] Can you provide an example for this issue or reference document, I can 
not find any guideline in RFC7950.

BALAZS: It is the first question you get from a customer at any model 
update/upgrade: are the changes backwards compatible?
The modeler and the customer needs to understand whether a change in the 
extension statements is backwards compatible or not. 
The new YANG versioning drafts also require this knowledge.
E.g. 
Removing the nacm:default-deny-all extension from a leaf is backwards 
compatible as all earlier operations will still work
Adding the nacm:default-deny-all extension to a leaf is not  backwards 
compatible as writing to the leaf might not work anymore.

Regards Balazs
