[netmod] Import issues discussed at interim on Dec 14th

[Reshad Rahman <[e-mail]>]

Thanks everyone for the feedback and comments on the mailing list and during the interim.

 
For the issue of revision-or-derived-compatible, there seems to be consensus that “revision-or-derived” is useful but compatibility constraints on imported modules  is better defined outside of the modules. So we will close https://github.com/netmod-wg/yang-ver-dt/issues/75, and open a new issue to look at how to define these constraints as meta-data elsewhere (e.g. in packages)
For https://github.com/netmod-wg/yang-ver-dt/issues/4, a change to the import statement is considered as backwards-compatible. There were some discussions as to whether there should be exceptions, but the semver draft already allows the major version to be bumped when all changed made are BC.
Under some circumstances (e.g., to avoid adding a "_compatible"

modifier) an artifact author MAY also update the MAJOR version

when the only changes are backwards-compatible.

 

Regards,

Reshad.
