Hi,
I can understand why this erratum is filed: the (imported) YANG
definition from RFC 8366 defines "idevid-issuer" as optional, with a
"MUST include" only for cases where serial-numbers are not unique in
MASA scope.
That is not so clear from the RFC 8995 text. So the answer is not
option 1, which would imply that "is included" == mandatory to include,
which it is not.
So the existing text is not wrong but for some readers it's hard to
puzzle all this together. Also there's normative text missing for this
item while other items around it do have that.
The proposed new text is not correct IMO. So we could hold it for
editorial clarification in a new revision of 8995?

I am picking up some of the backlog on the Errata. Rob suggested two
options. I am inclined to go with his first option. Does anyone have
any objection or would prefer the second option? If I do not hear in
the next two weeks, I am going to go with the first option.
Thanks.

Okay, I can add a clarification to the errata to indicate that RFC 2119
language is not required for the text to still be normative, and if
this text is updated, the other sections should be updated in a
consistent fashion.
If you like.
I don't have a strong opinion. Probably we should have used BCP14
language there.
An alternative resolution here is for me to reject the errata,
indicating that the text is still a normative requirement even though
it doesn’t use RFC 2119 language. Specifically, I don’t think that the
existing text is wrong, but consistently using RFC 2119 keywords may
add clarity.
