You seem to think that constrained devices includes server developers
unwilling to implement NETCONF correctly.  I do not recognize that
class of power constrained devices.

But I'll play along -- I already did this and it got ignored:

   - get-config (with subtree filtering mandatory)
   - edit-config
   - close-session
   - lock
   - unlock

There is my minimum set that provides CM functionality.
One can perform CRUD operations safely on a device with these operations.
