Another closely Right. For one, there are at least two sensible ways of translating a registry to YANG: apart from the more straightforward "enumeration" type, it is also possible to use identities. The latter approach is preferable if the registry only provides base identities, and other, more specialized, identities are intended to be derived from (some of) them. See, for example, RFC 7224. > related issue was raised by Ladislav Lhotka on the netmod list > yesterday: the terms "deprecated" and "obsolete" do not have > the same meanings in yang as they do in IANA registries. This is the message that Randy mentioned: https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/netmod/current/msg21992.html Hopefully, this issue can be solved relatively easily.
