rfc1284 has the no objects marked as deprecated.

the problem is that the (paraphrased) definition
of the DEPRECATED status is "currently mandatory
but may eventually disappear". what this means is
that all of the objects which we worked to delete
from the mib have not been deleted. they are still
there and still must be implemented. in other words,
the items will be there for another 6 months...

i think that people have had plenty of time to be
aware that these objects are going away. the
decision that the objects were not needed was made in
san diego -- 3 or 4 months ago. i think that there is
ample warning.
