Thanks Jan
Following the same logic, also the following change can be considered BC:
OLD
type foo;
NEW
type union {
type foo;
type bar
}
Is my understanding correct?
Thanks again
Italo

Italo,
Yes, in my judgement this change should be considered BC according to YANG
rules.
Note that the BC concept is a sort of *agreement* between client and server
implementors that determines what kind of changes a) are allowed + b) have to
be tolerated. Even when things are BC, that does not guarantee that things will
always keep interoperating properly.
Best Regards,

I have some questions/doubts about whether changing a type with union is a BC
or NBC change
For example, is the following change a BC or NBC change?
OLD
type union {
type foo;
type bar
}
NEW
type union {
type foo;
type bar;
type baz
}
Section 11 of RFC7950 is silent on this case although this change is expanding
the allowed value space and therefore it looks like a BC change
Thanks, Italo
