As an individual contributor and faithful YANG custodian, I cannot support work 
that changes YANG-semantics without versioning YANG itself.  As Andy wrote 
before:

    The only correct way to remove MUST/MUST NOT from the "YANG contract" 
    is to introduce a new YANG language version (1.2), and make a new contract.

I want this work to move forward in the form of a quick (limited-scope) 
rfc7950-bis.  One idea would to support just this YANG-next issue 
<https://github.com/netmod-wg/yang-next/issues/70> and then mark the versioning 
extension as "critical".  That said, I believe that an even better 
versioning-solution can be had if integrated into the YANG-language directly.
