I know that early implementations from INRIA were running over TLS
instead of SSH. They then switched over to SSH after I told them that
TLS is a non-defined transport mapping. Not sure what this means; at
least there were people implementing something like NETCONF over TLS.

I don't care so much about the political implications of this
question. In practice, I believe a NETCONF over TLS mapping has at
least the same changes of implementation and deployment than some of
the other transport we have put on the standards track and hence I
would vote for a fair treatment of all the transports and then in
three-five years we can decide which ones to declare historic when the
others go for Draft Standard.
