Juergen, 

Thank you for helping to close this item.

Jason,

Are you okay with this resolution?

 Qiufang,

Please update the draft to define what happens in case an update to <system> 
schema and/or data causes <intended> to become invalid.

As a participant, I wonder if it would be possible to enumerate such cases.  
For instance, let’s assume a software-update removes or renames a “shared 
object” in <system> that is being used.  In this case, I would hope that the 
installer would check for use of the old shared object and prompt the user what 
to do.  For instance, if the shared object was removed, the installer could 
auto-create the shared object in <running>.  Similarly, if the shared object 
was renamed, the installer could auto-update the leafref in <running> to point 
to the new name.  Likely it will be impossible to enumerate all possibilities, 
and so some generic catch-all text will be needed.  For instance (please 
rephrase), “Servers MUST ensure that updates to <system> schema and/or data do 
not result in <intended> becoming invalid.  It is out of scope of this document 
to define specific remediation mechanisms."
