A module that has only config false nodes will not add anything to a
conventional configuration datastore but it is not an error list such
a module. For a simple devices, it may be desirable to have just one
schema that applies to all datastores. There is no requirement to
break things apart just because there is a module that contributes
only an empty set to conventional configuration datastores.

Note that the defined term is 'conventional configuration datastore'
and not 'conventional datastore'. Oops, I see that in one place
draft-ietf-netconf-rfc7895bis-06.txt missing the 'configuration' part
of the term. That should be fixed.

   The recommended approach to populate "/modules-state" is to report
   the schema for YANG modules that are configurable via conventional
   datastores and for which config false data nodes are returned via a
   NETCONF <get> operation, or equivalent.

Co-authors, if you agree, how do we track this?
