This doesn't make sense.  The YANG model is the contract.  You are
proposing changing the contract.  The fact is that you will be
obsoleting 7223 (and the other RFCs).  Existing devices and

node (which will be in some other namespace I presume, unless your
proposal is one gigantic monolithic model).
