The IESG statement is worded poorly at best. It appears to me to imply
"when picking between MIB and Netconf/YANG models, pick the latter".

I do not read this as "configuration APIs should be described in terms
of Netconf/YANG."

An abstract API should never need to get into such a level of detail to
require a particular implementation. If you're aiming for something
beyond that, IMO the IETF is the wrong place (e.g., a better place would
be POSIX).
