[Netconf] the name "checksum" in YANG library

[Martin Bjorklund <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

Several reviewers in the IESG have commented that the name "checksum"
in YANG library is misleading.  It is not really a checksum ('There is
no requirement that the same information always results in the same
"checksum" value.')

So since many people have complained, maybe we should change it.

After a quick discussion among (some of the) authors, we suggest that
we call it "YANG library content identifier" or "content-id" for
short.

The changes would be:

OLD:

   o  YANG library checksum: A server-generated checksum of the contents
      of the YANG library.

NEW:

   o  YANG library content identifier: A server-generated identifier of
      the contents of the YANG library.


OLD:

   o  The "/yang-library/checksum" leaf contains the YANG library
      checksum, which is a unique implementation-specific identifier
      representing the current information in the YANG library on a
      specific server.


NEW:

   o  The "/yang-library/content-id" leaf contains the YANG library
      content identifier, which is a unique implementation-specific
      identifier representing the current information in the YANG
      library on a specific server.


... and various simpler search&replaces.


We would also update the schema-mount and netconf-nmda documents to
use the new term.


Does anyone object to this change?
