I am curious about  the choice of four octet for enterprise code in 2.5.

When used in SNMP, these codes have no effective limit on length; four octet
does seem massive compared to current use (just like the four octet limit of IP
address did a few years ago:-)

I wonder if it is worth a comment in the I-D that this is imposing a limit not
present in the IANA registratoin, albeit one that hopefully will last some time.
