Hi,

The issue of warnings keeps coming up with customers.
Technically, there are no error-tags that have an assigned
error-severity of 'warning'. The <rpc-error> message is
supposed to use 1 of the standard error-tags.

So how should the server send warnings in NETCONF?

 A) new message like <rpc-warning>
 B) new error-tag with assigned severity 'warning'
 C) pick an existing error-tag to allow as a warning
 D) allow any error-tag to be severity warning
 E) something else?
