Re: [netmod] schema mount and YANG library

["Acee Lindem (acee)" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Lada, 

My primary concern is that the YANG Schema Mount delay will not only hold the NI/LNE but all the models that are dependent on them (e.g., L2VPN and L3VPN). This is for a document that has already finished WG Last Call. Additionally, your estimate for the size of the change and time to reach standardization is based on there being immediate consensus on the changes. This is probably overly optimistic given there was discussion on the proposed YANG Library BIS changes. I’d vote to publish the existing draft. 

In any case, being able to see the proposed changes ASAP is critical. 

Thanks,
Acee

    I completely agree.
