So is there running code? Who is doing binary NETCONF and who is doing
binary RESTCONF? What are the _measured_ (not expected) savings with
binary NETCONF and binary RESTCONF? If all the running code moving
binary values is neither NETCONF nor RESTCONF, why would we spent
effort to extend NETCONF so that it can support multiple encodings?
Are people eager to migrate from what they use to this new solution?
