Right (to be precise, the key is defined in the YANG models in section
8 and 9).

Correct.

Not sure there's a controversy.  The static route list is how you
configure static routes, and the RIB is the operational state of all
routes (static and others).  Two different things.

The MIB had a single table to show routes and write routes.  I don't
think the persistency of the routes you wrote into the MIB was
defined; perhaps these can be viewed as being "static".
