Need to define Netconf Clustering/Data Persistence Behavior

Given the with clustering enabled data is persistent, how will Netconf behave in the light of bugs 2920 and 2921?

SFC relies on Netconf maintaining the netconf topology accurately so defining the behavior in the light of data persistence and fixing any bugs is paramount for SFC to work properly.

In the case of Netconf, it seems there is a further complication in that it maintains a list of netconf nodes it knows about in current_config.xml across Karaf reboots.
