This is your picture of the world. I believe that the world will
change slowly and that for quite some time, we will see different
functionality over the CLI and NETCONF interface, perhaps even
forever. Anyway, I think it is a feature and not a bug to give
operators a choice. Perhaps at some point in time, operators really
want to block the CLI altogether. ;-)
