You can argue for this but I believe this is not useful. We have ~20
years of MIB modules and frankly most of them (and in particular those
getting implemented) are focusing on statistics and counters. You can
now go into the direction of saying we stop doing this concrete down
to earth data modeling work and instead we do information models (in a
yet to be agree format). Is this going to help implementors? Is this
going to help people deploying stuff?
