the machine-friendly interface will be a YANG-defined API encoded in CBOR
gRPC and gNMI are no-go because of HTTP/2; won't go that direction; if
there is such a need, a separate (standalone) daemon may be created to
handle translations between BIRD API and gRPC / gNMI but it isn't in our
plans; it can be quite easy to do it though; regarding telemetry, it
should work well but i would not expect much from such a connection for
controlling though – we are keeping our model of daemon only reading
config, not writing it

Are we talking about gRPC?
If no, maybe some external tool running in same host of bird could use
this "machine-friendly interface"
to get it from bird and supply those data as gRPC?
gNMI is on the table in some way?
