The meaning of unevaluatedProperties:false would be here - accept other
properties (not mentioned here explicitly) from referenced schema. If
this is your actual intention for this binding, it makes sense. But if
the intention in this binding was to disallow these other properties,
then it would be wrong to change to unevaluatedProperties.

Therefore before sending patches and calling something better or not,
please instead focus on that aspect of referenced schema.
