I believe YANG library should be liberated from the dependence on servers and protocols and become part of a formal data model specification. It is not just some state data but rather metadata, and it is also perfectly conceivable that a server does not publish its YANG library at all (e.g. for security reasons or constrained devices). And then, I would suggest to consider dropping the above requirement for the *general* YANG library, i.e. design it so that it can in principle support multiple revisions of the same module. This is important because - it allows for supporting multiple revisions of some hardware (e.g. line cards) in the same device - the server needn't represent just a single device but may be used for configuring a network of devices, and then the above restriction could be severely limiting. This said, it would still be possible for a specific protocol to impose such a restriction. ... > > Alt.
