Hi Rob,

That would make it very hard to update existing 1.x YANG models to use new features in YANG 2.x if they used submodules.  Maybe that's something that no one would ever consider doing anyway, or maybe YANG 1.1 already has similar differences to 1.0?  I had (perhaps naively) assumed that you could migrate a namespace / model from YANG 1.0 to 2.0?

Regards,

William

I agree.
