Re: [Hubmib] FW: [802.3.1_MIBS] FW: 802.3.1-2011 ApprovalNotification

["C. M. Heard" <[e-mail]>]

Hello Dan,

Indeed, my question was just about changing the meta-data.  The 
reason for doing so would be to encourage implementors to migrate 
from the IETF versions of these MIB modules, which are no longer 
being maintained, to the IEEE versions of the MIB modules, which 
will be maintained in the future.

Since the IEEE has re-rooted their versions of the modules under new 
top-level OIDs, the existing IETF MIB modules will still need to be 
supported in order to manage the installed base of devices.  To me 
that souds like a good reason NOT to move them to Historic status.

Thanks and regards,

Mike Heard
