I have stated before, in dnsop and other places (such as ipsecme/i2nsf) that
yang documents MUST NOT populate RFC's with snapshots of IANA registries. It
leads to people implementing things long obsoleted/deprecated, and to
new things not getting included because items are newer than the yang
RFC publication date.

This advise was widely agreed upon for i2nsf/ipsecme that a yangdoctors
discussion on how to reference IANA registries in yang documents was
started. I understood work needed to happen to allow the referencing
of IANA registries in yang modules. I'm not sure where we are with that
work now.


This document should not be adopted in its current form. It should only
be adopted once the authors have ensured the new method of referencing
IANA registries is used instead of the current hardcoding method.
