Technical Summary

   This document refines the RFC 7950 module update rules.  It specifies
   a new YANG module update procedure that can document when non-
   backwards-compatible changes have occurred during the evolution of a
   YANG module.  It extends the YANG import statement with a suggestion
   for a minimum revision.  This helps document inter-module
   dependencies.  It provides guidelines for managing the lifecycle of
   YANG modules and individual schema nodes.

   This document updates RFCs 6020, 7950, 8525, and 9907.
