Agreed -- but I view the IETF SNMP experience as more than a
distraction. We are theoretically asking IETF WGs to stop
using SMIv2 and start using YANG to design data models.
I think the differences, and guidelines wrt/ those
differences, are relevant to a significant portion of the
IETF community.
