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

["Rob Wilton (rwilton)" <[e-mail]>]

I agree with Lada that having such a definition would be useful.

But I also agree with Martin that this isn't really an erratum.

It is also worth noting that RFC 8342 defines:

   o  schema node: A node in the schema tree.  The formal definition is
      provided in RFC 7950.

   o  datastore schema: The combined set of schema nodes for all modules
      supported by a particular datastore, taking into consideration any
      deviations and enabled features for that datastore.

The latest version of the packages draft (not posted yet), defines:

   o  YANG schema: A datastore schema, not bound to any particular
      datastore.

Thanks,
Rob
