+FIXME__POLISH_THIS
+ # The following code has a bunch of problems which are very hard to fix in
+ # terms of debugging and review times. Therefore I propose to merge this test
+ # first "as is" and solve the problems of this code in later commits. These
+ # problems were identified so far:
+ #
+ # - Code duplication. The following code is almost identical to what is
+ # present in ConfigViaRestconf.robot. Fixing this means refactoring
+ # ConfigViaRestconf.robot to use this library instead of doing
+ # everything on its own.
+ # - The interface of this code might be too optimized for the needs of
+ # one test suite. Maybe it should be generalized.
+ # - The Teardown_Netconf_Via_Restconf seems to be incomplete. It is
+ # supposed to close the session but (as the code suggests in a
+ # comment), the functionality needed is not implemented.
+ #
+ # Issues identified when trying to make this a library:
+ #
+ # - A better name might be necessary (this actually allows not only
+ # netconf to be accessed but other restconf accessible subsystems as
+ # well).
+ # - The ConfigViaRestconf might need to be merged with this code to avoid
+ # strange name clashes when using both in a suite.
