I've been running device configuration with netmiko (wherever it's implemented) for a few weeks now, and it all seems to work, so it might be time to switch over:
Make netmiko the default configuration method for Cisco IOS and Arista EOS (it's already the default method for IOS XR and Nexus OS)
Make "copy shell scripts with netmiko, then execute them" the default method for Linux-based VMs (linux, frr)
Anyone who installed Ansible using netlab install ansible alread has netmiko installed, and I would make it a core requirement (or should I got for an optional requirement) in the next release.

Maybe I missed something, but was there any discussion about correctness of the config installed by netmiko?

I must be missing something. What exactly do you have in mind?

@a-v-popov Integration tests will take care of correctness. Why discuss when you can test ?
