// Per RFC6242 section 4.1, If the :base:1.1 capability is advertised by both
// peers, the chunked transfer mechanism is used for the remainder of the NETCONF
// session. Otherwise, the old end-of-message based mechanism(see Section 4.3) is used.

// This will currently evaluate to false since we (the client) do not advertise 1.1 capability.
// Despite some code existing for the 1.1 framing protocol, it is thought to be incorrect or
// incomplete. The NETCONF code is practically untested at the time of writing.
