Re: [netmod] upcoming adoptions

rfc8022bis-02 signals the intent to ditch the current/soon-to-be-legacy module, but does it actually say it?  (I can't find it)

The draft does say that it obsoletes 8022, but I'm unsure if that's going to have a meaningful impact in the wild.  I think Juergen said they had this issue with MIB2 and only after a couple years of misuse did they republish the legacy MIBs with deprecated status.

I'm okay with this change being made after adoption, so long as there's general agreement to do it.  Are the authors okay with it, or are there any better suggestions?

PS: Sadly, the 'module' statement does not have 'status' as a substatement [I just added this omission to the yang-next tracker].  I think the only way to "deprecate a module" is to instead deprecate the all the nodes/rpcs/notifications in the module.  Kind of ugly, but it's for a deprecated module, so who care, right?  ;)

I see an update for the third was published yesterday
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-acee-netmod-rfc8022bis-02)  that
clarifies the intent is to replace the current modules, and presumably
obsolete 8022.  And now that this intended direction is clear in the
draft we could poll it.

I think this still doesn't address if we need to indicate that the
rfc8022 defined modules are deprecated by some other mechanisms than
just replacing the RFC, e.g., by updating the old modules with all nodes
marked as deprecated.  I think you're right that this could be done post
adoption.  Of course others are free to disagree.

I check with Kent and see what he thinks.

Thanks,
Lou
