The slide shown in the WG seems to be out of date compared to https://www.ietf.org/about/note-well.html, but the substantive changes aren't in the Note Well; they are in RFC8179. More substantive: > - Andy Bierman: our review process discourages people from implementing > early. Once it gets to the AD and the IESG, they can change > anything they want. If a reviewer or an IESG member suggests a substantive change, that doesn't give *them* the right to change it - a substantive change must be brought back to the WG. So the underlying problem here is not about who has control but about the fact that implementing on the run almost guarantees that your implementation will be out of date when the thing is finalised. That really is not specific to yang, or to the IETF, or to networking. (In 1925, public electricity supply in London was at 24 different voltages and 10 different frequencies. They didn't wait for the standard to be final then, either.) It seems to me that declaring snapshots from time to time is about the best we can do, accompanied by a strong warning that the final version will be different.
