OLD:
 Specifically, this MIB contains network addresses, machine
 names, user names, application usage information, and
 conversation statistics. Data of this nature may be considered
 sensitive or subject to privacy regulations in some
 environments. In such environments the administrator may wish
 to restrict even read-only SNMP access to the agent.

NEW:
 Specifically, this MIB contains network addresses, machines
 names, user names, application usage information, and 
 conversation statistics. Data of this nature should be
 considered sensitive and the privacy of the users from whom it
 was gathered protected.  Administrators should restrict read
 access to this data to specifically authorized individuals or
 agents that recognize the privacy implications of its release.
 In situations where read access to this data cannot be
 restricted, it should not be gathered.
