    Because it allows all of the related modules to be grouped together,

which seems to make logical sense.

Why?

[DR] actually RFC 4181 discourages the practice of placing MIB modules under a subtree other than mib-2. See section 4.5:

 

- The value assigned to the MODULE-IDENTITY descriptor MUST be unique
     and (for IETF standards-track MIB modules) SHOULD reside under the
     mgmt subtree [RFC2578].  Most often it will be an IANA-assigned
     value directly under mib-2 [RFC2578], although for media-specific
     MIB modules that extend the IF-MIB [RFC2863] it is customary to use
     an IANA-assigned value under transmission [RFC2578].  In the past,
     some IETF working groups have made their own assignments from
     subtrees delegated to them by IANA, but that practice has proven
     problematic and is NOT RECOMMENDED.

    I understand; however, we chose to follow the model described for

the MPLS MIB Modules in RFC3811.
