Our proposal does not include protocol agents for SNMP or NETCONF but it does include a data model mapping framework that can be used to bridge between these protocols' data models MIB and YANG and an OpenWrt environment. If you compare this framework with the slides shown by Felix at the prpl weekly then it's an implementation of the "configuration backend", or if you compare it with the architecture of a NETCONF project like https://wiki.openwrt.org/inbox/howto/opencpe then it's an implementation of "mand". (We aren't using mand.)

The answer is yes as far as I'm concerned.
