Re: [netmod] Does the YANG "status" statement inherit from its parent node?

Hi,

I just checked the following YANG:

    container foo {
      status deprecated;
      leaf L1 {
         status current;
         type string;
      }
    }

pyang does not complain about it at all.
yangdump-pro issues a warning

Warning: Invalid status: child node 'L1' = 'current' and parent node 'foo'
= 'deprecated'
t1003.yang:9.7: warning(1024): invalid status for child node

IMO the status is inherited from its parent.
The entire subtree is deprecated or obsolete.
What does it even mean (from operations POV) to have an child nodes
that are current but the ancestors are not?
