Assuming 'a', yes, 'b' follows 'a'.  That said, the concern is nebulous
and how to address it more so.  Proposals?

Assuming the concern is process-overhead for minor spins, perhaps we
could leverage the module-versioning work as follows:

  * Initial and NBC modules go thru standard RFC publishing process (i.e.,
    there is still a need to publish YANG modules in RFCs).

  * BC modules can skip standard publishing process but, to be an "IETF"
    product (not some random fork), they would need to be released via an
    IETF-owned mechanism (e.g., an Git repo) with restricted write-access.

Thoughts?
