Thank you previous discussions with the IANA port experts on the requested IANA actions, and the follow-up with me to refine the request to IANA this document.

I have no objection to promotion of this document.

Many thanks to Barry Leiba for his ARTART review, from which I will quote:

    It’s good to clean up these unused port-number assignments, and the document is
    clear about the whats and whys and the fact that they’re confirmed as having
    never been deployed.

        This document releases NETCONF-related port number IANA
        assignments that have not stood the test of time.

"releases" and "not stood the test of time" are not clear descriptions for an Abstract.
I would more think in terms of "this document deprecates <names of services> and releases
their assigned port numbers X, Y and Z back to <the pool | IANA>."

I find the mentioning of NETCONF over SSH and port 830 in this case a bit confusing, as if
it is also an example that is being obsoleted. Perhaps the text can more clearly state
that these other ones are obsoleted/unused and that the deployment has shifted to
NETCONF over SSH and port 830. And is that true? Is it not using NETCONF over SSH using
port 22?
