As am I.

The maintained module was defined in RFC 9127, ยง2.12.  Any content additions to 
that module maintained by IANA cover the fact that it was defined in RFC 9127 
under one set of prior maintenance rules.  The fact that you're not 
understanding that point suggests you should review RFC 9127.

The landscape has changed.  That's fine.  Participants in netmod will likely 
recall I raised issues about how maintenance works some time ago.  I find the 
updates in 8407-bis to be reasonable for new modules.  Their homework for how 
those rules are enforced on previously created modules is not done. Their 
procedures for what a maintenance request needs to look like needs improvement. 
 Ideally Med and Mahesh will proxy those points toward their last call inputs.

Not if I can help it.  My personal goal here is "tell us what text to paste in 
the drafts to make the YANG issues go away at the IESG level".  I'm telling you 
that your requests are not sufficiently clear or traceable to what you're 
trying to RFC in netmod as the new requirements.

Frankly, send patches.  All drafts are in github.

Alternatively, if we're hung up in YANG process hell, simply deleting the YANG 
modules in these drafts remains an option.  However, the issues identified in 
this thread remain ones that need to be dealt with and will impact other IANA 
maintained modules that are operating under prior boilerplate.  BFD just has 
had the misfortune to trip across those issues.
