It would be possible, but I'd rather not.  They were added explicitly for SDLC
support, after a fair amount of support from those folks, but I remember for a
fact that some of them were explicitly rejected as not of much general
interest when we first defined the MIB.  I'd prefer to keep the
restrictive-sounding name and restricted conformance statement so people who
don't do SDLC won't be pressured to implement them.
