Thank you Tom. I did modify the YANG tree by hand because something was wrong

Reshad,
Yes, this addresses my comments.
I note the use of 'we' in a couple of places and there is currently an
AD who often comments on such.
I note that under the first augment in the tree diagram there is
+--rw enabled? boolean
while under the second there is
+--rw enabled boolean
The '?' means optional and I do not understand why one is and the other
is not. I did wonder if the Tree diagram reflects an earlier version of
the YANG module or has been crafted by hand. I note that -07 had
'enable?' without the 'd' in all places.
I would be happy to see you pressing ahead with -08.
