So if software (including management software) needs explicit support for new
IANA entries (in for instance, lists of ciphers), then why is it better for
the (human) programmer to download a new YANG module than to just read the IANA web
pages (or .XML equivalent)?
(It's not like the YANG description will have executable code for SHA4 or something)
