Hi,

Please forgive me if this was covered.

Netconf is doing a good job of covereing the 'P' and maybe some of the 'A' and 'M', but what about the 'O'?

Things like:

Software Download (not really a <copy-config>, maybe just <copy>?)
Operating and Releasing Loopbacks/Test Signals (not really editing the configuration, new verb-set?)
Initializing PM Registers (again, not really editing the configuration)
Protection Switching

This may be outside the Netconf charter, but it seems the rpc framework being used for netconf could be re-used to the other parts of network management.
