[Adslmib] Summary of discussion regarding the use of TruthValue



Hi All,

There has been no consensus at this time on the issue of
using the TruthValue type for boolean objects.

Below is a summary of the discussion so far :

- A number of ADSLMIB contributors have requested that
  the TruthValue type be used for parameters that have
  a boolean nature.

- The MIB authors believe that keeping the MIB identical
  to the source document is more important than following
  the convention regarding TruthValue.


Conclusion
----------
When multiple MIB experts unanimously urge me to make a change
I am reluctant to ignore that advice.
In this case though, I do feel justified in my position
and I have considered both sides of the issue and I
am unlikely to change my mind unless some sort of
new evidence comes to light.

Regards,

Scott.
