I think the YANG library deployment is likely to fracture into 3 variants
  1) NMDA servers (7895bis base)
  2) non-NMDA servers (7895 base)
  3) IoT servers (CoMI version)

I would like to avoid (3).

I think 2 additions can help fix that:

top-level leaf:

 leaf  library-redirect {
   type inet:uri;
   description
       "URI for the actual YANG library server for this server.
        If present then the entire YANG library will be found on the remote
        server instead of this server, and the <get-schema> operation will
        not be available on this server.";
 }

added to module:

  leaf sid {
     type uint64;
     description "The schema node identifier value assigned to this module";
  }

I realize SID is still under development, but so is this new version of the
YANG library.
