[netmod] Adoption of versioning design team docs

[Lou Berger <[e-mail]>]

Hi,
We'd like to start a two week adoption call for the set of documents described below by Rob.  To be specific, this includes
1) draft-verdt-netmod-yang-solutions-03
2) draft-verdt-netmod-yang-module-versioning-01
3) draft-verdt-netmod-yang-semver-01
4) draft-rwilton-netmod-yang-packages-03
5) draft-wilton-netmod-yang-ver-selection-02
6) draft-verdt-netmod-yang-schema-comparison-00

The adoption call ends in two weeks, on March 16.

Please voice your support or objections on list.  While we prefer to adopt as a set, objections on specific documents are acceptable.

E.g. if the server wants to allow a client to choose between different schema versions, but require that all clients use the same schema version, that is now possible

>    - The solution allows the server to require clients to configure schema-sets before they are used
>    - The solution provides more information about which schema-sets are compatible with each other
