Re: [netmod] [Technical Errata Reported] RFC7950 (5879)

[Schönwälder, Jürgen <[e-mail]>]

I would be extremely careful with a change here. We would need to
check carefully all places where "schema tree" is used today to be
sure that accepting the errata does not accidentally change
semantics.

It may turn out that we use "schema tree" sometimes as "schema tree of
a module" and sometimes as "schema tree of a server". It may turn out
that we need to make this distinction more carefully and explicit than
we have done so far and we may even conclude that we need two
different terms to make this distinction.

A minor nit: I think the definition should not reference RFC 7895; the
definition should stand on its own and ideally RFC 7895 would import
the proper defined term from YANG; it should not look like the
definition in YANG depends on RFC 7895.
